The fines for not attending at all with no excuse or being found out over summons and not bothering are 2,500 euro and potential imprisonment.
thats quite a punishment.

Here though I think its an automatic jail sentence for contempt of court. But like I said, my county sheriff's department only has about 300 deputies who are responsible for everything from civil process, courthouse security, prisoner transport, warrants and evictions to regular law enforcement functions so the chances of them coming looking for you unless your wanted for other things is pretty slim.
