    The EU can reach any bank account on SWIFT, they own it.

    Dutch authorities openly say that if you get a speeding fine and leave to eg. Turkiye, they will simply take it from your Turkish account.

      Do you have a reference? I could only find this:

      If we are unable to transfer the case to another EU Member State, your name will be added to the Dutch Tracing Register. This means that an investigating officer (such as a police officer or a customs officer) can stop you and ask you to pay the fine on the spot. If you fail to do so, they can impound your vehicle.

      Closest:

      In addition, if you’re driving a rental car, the rental company may be notified of the violation, and the fine may be deducted from your deposit or charged directly to your credit card.
