Summary

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 5,000 on the medical professional Dr. Paolo Montemurro. The controller published several photographs showing the results of a rhinoseptoplasty procedure. As the patient did not consent to the publication of the pictures, the post has no sufficient legal basis.
