Lisbon City Hall was ordered to pay compensation of 463 thousand euros in the case known as "Russiagate". The conviction is related to the sharing of personal data of Russian activists with Russian authorities.
The initial fine applied by the National Data Protection Commission (CNPD) was 1.25 million euros. However, this amount was reduced throughout the judicial process due to the filing of appeals and the statute of limitations on some violations.
The case involved the transfer of sensitive information from Russian citizens that was allegedly shared with Russian government entities, raising questions about data protection and the security of the activists involved.
The final decision represents a significant reduction compared to the initial sanction, but maintains the responsibility of Lisbon City Council for the improper handling of the data of the Russian activists.
