Italian police search data protection authority headquarters in corruption probe
Italian financial police have carried out a search at the headquarters of the country’s Data Protection Authority as part of an investigation into alleged corruption and embezzlement, according to reports from local media.
Officers from the Guardia di Finanza reportedly entered the authority’s offices on Thursday in connection with a probe led by the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office. The investigation is said to involve several senior officials within the institution, including its president.
The inquiry focuses on suspected financial misconduct and possible abuses of public funds. Authorities have not released further details, and no formal charges have been announced at this stage.
The search marks a significant development, as the Data Protection Authority plays a key role in overseeing privacy rules and the handling of personal data in Italy. The case has drawn public attention amid growing concerns over transparency and accountability within state institutions.
