Sur les 16 millions d'euros d'amendes inflig\u00e9es en 2025 pour fraude sur le r\u00e9seau de transports publics flamand De Lijn, la moiti\u00e9 a d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 recouvr\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
En partie gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l'intensification des contr\u00f4les, le montant total des amendes inflig\u00e9es a \u00e9t\u00e9 multipli\u00e9 par pr\u00e8s de dix depuis 2020, passant d'environ 1,13 million \u00e0 plus de 16 millions d'euros.<\/p>\n
Les recettes r\u00e9elles provenant des amendes ont \u00e9galement augment\u00e9, mais \u00e0 un rythme bien plus lent. Selon De Lijn, au bout de trois ans, environ 70% des amendes sont finalement pay\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
Bien que le nombre de contr\u00f4les ait augment\u00e9 \u2013 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des mesures de contr\u00f4le cibl\u00e9es et \u00e0 des v\u00e9rifications davantage fond\u00e9es sur les donn\u00e9es \u2013, le nombre de resquilleurs sur le r\u00e9seau De Lijn a consid\u00e9rablement augment\u00e9 au cours des cinq derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
Alors qu\u2019un peu plus de 13 000 proc\u00e8s-verbaux avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 dress\u00e9s sp\u00e9cifiquement pour fraude et \u2018 zone grise \u2019 en 2020, ce chiffre est pass\u00e9 \u00e0 environ 100 000 en 2025 (Les usagers de la \u00ab zone grise \u00bb sont des passagers qui, par exemple, poss\u00e8dent bien un titre de transport mais ne l'ont pas valid\u00e9 ou ont oubli\u00e9 de le faire).<\/p>\n
Pour l'ann\u00e9e 2025, des amendes d'un montant total de 16,2 millions d'euros ont \u00e9t\u00e9 inflig\u00e9es, poursuivant ainsi une tendance \u00e0 la hausse observ\u00e9e depuis un certain temps. Un probl\u00e8me de longue date r\u00e9side toutefois dans le fait que le taux de recouvrement oscille autour de 50% depuis des ann\u00e9es, ce qui t\u00e9moigne d'une am\u00e9lioration minime.<\/p>\n
En 2024, les inspecteurs ont inflig\u00e9 des amendes pour un montant total de plus de 13 millions d'euros : 60% de cette somme ont depuis \u00e9t\u00e9 pay\u00e9s. Pour 2025, un peu plus de la moiti\u00e9 \u2013 soit 8,5 millions d'euros \u2013 des 16,2 millions d'euros d'amendes inflig\u00e9es ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 pay\u00e9s, selon Het Laatste Nieuws.<\/p>\n
Il convient toutefois de noter qu'au bout de trois ans, environ 70% des amendes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pay\u00e9es, en partie gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la refonte du processus de recouvrement via VLABEL.<\/p>\n
Les personnes qui ne peuvent pas r\u00e9gler la totalit\u00e9 de la somme en une seule fois ont souvent la possibilit\u00e9 de payer en plusieurs versements. En l'absence de paiement, un huissier de justice peut \u00eatre saisi. Si le d\u00e9biteur n'a toujours pas pay\u00e9 au bout de cinq ans, la dette est officiellement prescrite.<\/p>\n
Toute personne prise en flagrant d\u00e9lit de fraude sur le r\u00e9seau De Lijn se verra infliger une amende de 127 \u20ac. En cas de r\u00e9cidive dans les 12 mois, l'amende s'\u00e9l\u00e8ve \u00e0 349 \u20ac. \u00c0 partir de la troisi\u00e8me infraction commise au cours de la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e, l'amende s'\u00e9l\u00e8ve \u00e0 474 \u20ac.<\/p>\n
Le gouvernement flamand a charg\u00e9 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de transports publics de g\u00e9n\u00e9rer 30 millions d'euros suppl\u00e9mentaires cette ann\u00e9e gr\u00e2ce aux contr\u00f4les de fraude. La PDG de De Lijn, Ann Schoubs, a qualifi\u00e9 cet objectif d'irr\u00e9aliste, alors m\u00eame que la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 subit d\u00e9j\u00e0 une forte pression financi\u00e8re.<\/p>\n
Selon Het Laatste Nieuws, 11 contr\u00f4leurs suppl\u00e9mentaires ont pris leurs fonctions en juin, portant ainsi le nombre total de contr\u00f4leurs chez De Lijn \u00e0 230, sur les 239 pr\u00e9vus.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
