Multiplied by 6: 240 Hours for Unpaid Fines

The Kaltasinsky District Bailiff Department initiated six enforcement proceedings against a local resident for failing to pay administrative fines within the legally established period. The woman had previously committed a series of offenses, each resulting in a fine, but she was in no hurry to settle her debt to the state.

By law, a debtor has 60 days to voluntarily pay a fine after the ruling takes effect. The resident did not take advantage of this opportunity. As a result, the claimant turned to the court, and bailiffs were brought in. A bailiff drew up protocols against the citizen under Part 1 of Article 20.25 of the Russian Federation Code of Administrative Offenses — for evasion of payment.

A total of six protocols were filed — one for each unpaid fine. After reviewing the materials, the court ruled that for each of the six protocols, the punishment would be 40 hours of community service. Thus, the total duration of mandatory work came to 240 hours.

Now the debtor must not only work these hours for the benefit of the district but also fully repay the accumulated fines. The press service of the Main Directorate of the Federal Bailiff Service of Russia for the Republic of Bashkortostan reminded that neglecting financial obligations can lead to serious consequences, including community service and administrative arrest.

Community service is performed in free time from the main job and is unpaid. It is one of the measures of coercive influence on malicious defaulters. Bailiffs have already begun monitoring the enforcement of the punishment.
