Article D48-16 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

If, after transmission of a financial penalty, the sentenced person voluntarily pays a sum of money in respect of that penalty, the Public Prosecutor shall inform the competent authority of the State of enforcement thereof without delay by any means which leaves a written record, so that the amount recovered in France is deducted in full from the amount of the financial penalty being enforced in the State of enforcement.

Si, après transmission d’une sanction pécuniaire, la personne condamnée s’acquitte volontairement d’une somme d’argent au titre de cette sanction, le ministère public en informe sans tarder par tout moyen laissant une trace écrite l’autorité compétente de l’Etat d’exécution, afin que le montant recouvré en France soit entièrement déduit du montant de la sanction pécuniaire faisant l’objet d’une exécution dans l’Etat d’exécution.
