!!!Geldstrafe Fine, sum of money exacted as a penalty. In Austria, fines can only be imposed on the basis of decisions by an administrative or judicial authority. Should the defendant be unable to pay, the money fine is replaced by a prison term. Court fines are assessed on the basis of defendant's level of income ("Tagessatz" as a percentage of his/her earnings). %%language [Back to the Austrian Version|AEIOU/Geldstrafe|class='wikipage austrian'] %% [{FreezeArticle author='AEIOU' template='Lexikon_1995_englisch'}] [{ALLOW view All}][{ALLOW comment All}][{ALLOW edit FreezeAdmin}]
