Flemish Region convicted of unauthorised seizure of truck

A driver of the bulk transport company Elittrans in Quevaucamps (Beloeil) was stopped on 23 August by a mobile inspection team of the Flemish Tax Office (VlaBel). The latter found that seven fines over a non-functioning OBU had remained unpaid. The official demanded the immediate payment of the seven fines of 1,000 euros per offence, the first of which dated from June. The vehicle’s OBU was also faulty that day, bringing the total to 8,000 euros.
