The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 30,000 on EUROPA PRESS DE CATALUNYA, S.A.. Several media outlets, including the controller had published an audio recording of a multiple rape victim's testimony in court on their websites to report on the case. The case had attracted a lot of media attention. During its investigation, the DPA determined that the rape victim's right to privacy outweighed the controller's freedom of information. The audio recordings of the victim did not add any significant value to the reporting, but rather severely compromised the victim's privacy. For this reason, the DPA found that the controller violated the principle of data minimization.
