The law stipulates that the relevant administrative penalty is a fine of MOP30,000 to MOP150,000, but under what circumstances will a different fine of MOP30,000 and MOP150,000 be imposed? What is the difference between the two? How does the administrative authority assess the penalties? |
The law sets a range of fines for the relevant offences, with the aim of imposing a higher fine for the more reprehensible acts when assessing the circumstances of the offence. In the case of recidivism under Article 94 of Law No. 16/2021 (an identical offence committed within one year after the decision of an administrative punishment has become unappealable), the lower limit of the fine is increased by one quarter, while the upper limit remains unchanged. |
