Is there anywhere that lets people discharge fines with bankruptcy?

In my home country the only debts that can't be cancelled by a personally bankruptcy are debts to social security, taxes, and credits acquired through fraud.

The caveat is that court will take over your personal finances and property for 3 years and try to pay as much debts as possible before the process is finished.

I looked it up for Germany, seems like you can't get out of fines by declaring bankruptcy there.
