A LA PENA DE: 6 Euro/DIA DURANTE: 6 MESES DE: Dias-multas SITUACION: SIN EFECTO (POR) LO 5/2010


I don't understand exactly what the penalty consists of - is it a fine of 6 euros a day for a period of 6 months?

Any help greatly appreciated.

day rate

The traditional amount system has in the meantime been replaced in many countries by a so-called day-rate system. In the traditional amount system the court simply fixes a certain amount of money as punishment. The day-rate system requires two steps: first the court must decide on the number of days the crime would deserve if punished with the deprivation of liberty (i.e., a determination made without considering the individual characteristics of the convicted person). Second the court fixes a certain amount of money per day, depending on the daily income (and/or other available means) of the perpetrator.

Sorry, forgot to answer your actual question! Yes, it is 6 euros a day for a period of 6 months.
Note from asker:
thanks Jane - very helpful . I thought "dias-multas" seemed redundant as it already says 6 euros a day for 6 months

Spanish term (edited): Días-multa

days' fine / daily fine

In correct Spanish: Días-multa

A synonym for día multa is "multa diaria" (literally, daily fine). So, in your case it means 6 euros a day during 6 months.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Criminal Code, the court shall determine the number of ***daily fines*** having regard to the general rules for sentencing.

(UK) unit-fine days

See the UK criminal Justice Act 1991 introducing unit fines in the UK 1992-93 and abandoned as unpopular within a year. Maybe this doesn't ring any bells....
