Lisbon City Hall was sentenced to pay 463,700 euros for sharing personal data of anti-Putin activists with Russian authorities. The ruling was issued within the framework of the case known as Russiagate.
The case dates back to 2021, the period when Fernando Medina, from the Socialist Party, was leading the Lisbon municipality as president.
The data sharing allegedly endangered the safety of the activists who opposed Vladimir Putin's regime, exposing their identities and locations to Russian authorities.
The multimillion-euro compensation aims to cover the damages caused by the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information that should have been protected.
