Paying fine in Italy?
Hi, I received a fine from the Municipal Police in Gallipoli for driving into a restricted zone last August. I am accepting the fine and try to pay it, but how? They did not send me a bank account number (nor IBAN) but just instructions to pay the fine in the post office in Italy. I do not live in Italy, and can't pay the fine through the post office here in Germany. I called the police office, but no one speaks English except for one person who did not know the bank account number and coulnt help me any further. Any advice on this? Thanks.
I would disagree with not paying the fine if you ever want to go back and drive in Italy.While they can not reach out and touch you in the US, they can put the info into their system and that can cause you issues in the future if you are in Italy and stopped for a traffic infraction or are involved in an accident that the police will investigate.
I have, over the past few years, received a couple of those nasty grams. In both cases, there were instructions on how to go to a secure, protected website (in English) to pay your fine on line. Its either that or you can have your bank issue a draft in funds and mail the check to the Municipal Police as payment.

I would write a letter to the Municipal Police explaining your position and asking them written instructions. That way you have anyway a piece of paper stating that you want to pay
