If you have already paid the fine in full, then doubling the fine is usually not applied. However, if you have violated the payment rules (for example, a late payment), interest and penalties may be charged for this. In some cases, if the fine is not paid on time or if the debtor systematically avoids payment, the case may be transferred to the executive body for debt collection.
