The court may, where explicitly provided for in a provision and upon deeming that the criminal offence and its perpetrator pose a low social risk and where it imposes an imprisonment term not exceeding two years, decide to replace the imprisonment sentence to the payment of a monetary amount to the benefit of the state, calculating one imprisonment day to five thousand ALL.
This substitution may be decided upon being sought by the perpetrator of the criminal offence.
Where the monetary amount set out by the court is not paid within 10 days since the moment that the decision becomes final, the court shall, upon the request of the prosecution office, decide to revoke the decision and substitute it to an imprisonment term.
