The Lisbon City Hall was condemned to pay a single fine of 463,700 euros in the case known as Russiagate, according to a decision by the Southern Central Administrative Court known this Thursday. The fine refers to the sharing of personal data of Russian activists.
The initial fine applied by the National Data Protection Commission was significantly higher, amounting to 1.25 million euros. The amount was reduced within the judicial process.
The Russiagate case involves the sharing of sensitive information related to Russian activists, which raised questions about the protection of personal data and the responsibilities of public entities in managing confidential information.
The court's decision represents the outcome of a process that took place over several years and resulted in the application of a substantial financial penalty to the Lisbon municipality.
