FINALDescripción
The Italian DPA (Garante) has fined Gedi Gruppo Editoriale S.p.A. 20,000 euros. The controller had published photos in its newspaper of people who were in custody in connection with a murder. The photos showed the accused in handcuffs and had been taken without their consent. Although some of the photos had been pixelated around the handcuffs, the faces of the defendants remained visible, allowing them to still be identified. The DPA had ordered the controller in advance to refrain from further use of these photos. The DPA imposed the fine because the controller had not complied with this order.
