According to the case law of the Federal Court of Justice, fines and monetary penalties in favor of the state treasury (§ 153 a para. 1 sentence 2 no. 2 alternative 2 StPO) can be challenged by the insolvency administrator. The author explains why it is not possible to continue the criminal proceedings after repayment to the insolvency estate in the case of fines, monetary penalties, and monetary conditions of probation (for example, through the enforcement of a substitute imprisonment in insolvency, revocation of the suspension of the sentence, and further payment from non-seizable assets). The insolvency challenge of monetary conditions for dismissal or probation can be circumvented by the public prosecutor's office and the court by resorting to other conditions and directives that do not involve payment. The author demonstrates that there are no alternatives to fines.
