Statute overview

About this statute

The provision defines “strafföreläggande” as a decision by the prosecutor, based on a fine claim or a penalty claim, imposing a fine and forfeiture sanction. Police and prosecutors are the authorities named for issuing penalty/fine requests and orders; a fine order may include up to 20 daily fines. A receiving officer should try to make sure the suspect understands what the consent means before it is given. This section says that specific rules govern when certain officers may issue a warning, refrain from reporting an offence, or refrain from seeking prosecution or forfeiture. A bötesyrkande must mention that an investigation about the basis for setting the daily fine amount can be given to the prosecutor, and it must note the two-week time limit for submitting it.
