Two retirees from Galicia received six fines totaling €1,200 for a car that never left their province. The issue arose from a missing letter on the license plate of another vehicle. Carmen and José, who have never driven to Barcelona, contested the fines after receiving three notifications. Their vehicle, an Audi A4, is over 20 years old and used locally. The fines were linked to a partially obscured license plate in a photo, which matched theirs except for the initial letter. All fines were eventually annulled, but the city refused to compensate them for contestation costs, citing a possible reading error. Similar cases have occurred in Catalonia, highlighting flaws in the system that monitors restricted zones.
