Publication of names and photographs of police-investigators at Larnaca Airport by Politis newspaper
A newspaper was fined 10,000 euros for publishing the names and pictures of three police investigators in both electronic and physical form. The Cypriot data protection commissioner believed that it would have been sufficient to publish only the initials of the police officers or photos where the three officers could not be identified, for example by using blurred faces.
