The Lisbon City Council was ordered to pay a fine of 463.7 thousand euros for violations related to the protection of personal data in the so-called Russiagate case. The initial fine amount was 1.25 million euros, having been reduced during the proceedings.
The case involved the sending of information about anti-Putin activists to Russian entities. The conviction results from failures in the personal data protection procedures on the part of the Lisbon council.
The National Data Protection Commission was the entity responsible for instructing the case and for imposing the fine on the Lisbon City Council. The final amount reflects a significant reduction compared to the initial proposal.
