Article D569 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

When the public prosecutor finds that the person has paid in full the amount of the day fines imposed, he or she shall order that the imprisonment served pursuant to Article 762 and that the portion of the day fines corresponding to the number of all the days of detention suffered be reimbursed.

If the payment is made before the imprisonment is served, when the public prosecutor has already referred the matter to the sentence enforcement judge for this purpose in accordance with Article 754, the provisions of Article D. 49-34-1.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article D569

Lorsque le procureur de la République constate que la personne s’est intégralement acquittée du montant des jours-amendes prononcés, il ordonne qu’il soit mis fin à l’emprisonnement mis à exécution en application de l’article 762 et qu’il soit procédé au remboursement de la portion des jours-amendes correspondant au nombre de l’ensemble des jours de détention subis.


Si le paiement intervient avant la mise à exécution de l’emprisonnement, alors que le procureur de la République a déjà saisi à cette fin le juge de l’application des peines conformément à l’article 754, il est fait application des dispositions de l’article D. 49-34-1.
