Violation Summary
A newspaper was fined €10,000 after it had published both in electronic and physical form the names and pictures of three police investigators. The Cypriot Data Protection Commissioner considered that it would have been enough to publish only the initials of the police officers or photographs from which it would not have been possible to identify the three officials, such as using blurred faces.
