6.7 million euros fine for parking violation: Greek gets horrendous notice
Created: 07/27/2022, 16:26
A Greek woman has been fined millions for a parking violation.
However, the woman reacted to it quite cool.
If you are flashed or given a parking ticket, the fine is usually in the double-digit range.
Of course, depending on the severity of the violation, it can sometimes be a little more.
As with a Munich man whose fine added up to more than 14,000 euros - the 26-year-old had actually been flashed 85 times within a month.
A frenzied millionaire should even pay almost 200,000 euros in Switzerland.
But all this is nothing compared to the fine that has now fluttered into a Greek woman's house: she should pay almost 6.7 million euros.
But the woman reacted pretty cool after an initial shock.

6.7 million euros fine for parking violation: Greek gets horrendous notice
As the portal of the Greek newspaper
rodiaki.gr
reports, the woman received a warning from the municipality: she should pay a fine for a traffic violation.
According to information from
Carscoops
, the Greek had apparently parked incorrectly.
The woman initially panicked, thinking she would have to pay more than 6,000 euros.
But after a while she almost realized that it was even more - she believed in an amount of more than 60,000 euros.
But she was wrong about that too: Finally, she realized how much was actually required on paper: exactly 6,648,444 euros.
6.7 million euros fine for parking violations: traffic offenders joke on the municipal office
The day after, however, the woman had obviously recovered from the shock because she realized that something couldn't be right here.
According to Greek media reports, she marched with the decision to the responsible municipal office and held the fine notice in front of the responsible employee.
And even allowed herself a joke: she explained to the employee that she couldn't pay the amount with a credit card, but would like to pay in cash.

The curious case was then also clarified: the community worker assured the woman that it was obviously a mistake.
Don't worry, things will be taken care of.
How the error with the exorbitant fine came about is so far unclear.
