The Inspectorate to the Supreme Judicial Council investigates personal data leak in the 'Petrohan' case
The Inspectorate to the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) has launched an official investigation into the 'Petrohan-Okolchitsa' case. The institution's goal is to determine whether personal data of citizens was unlawfully disclosed during a joint briefing held by the Prosecutor's Office, the Ministry of Interior, and expert witnesses.
The issue arose following the public presentation of information regarding the investigation, during which documents and materials were shown to the media. According to information security experts, the data provided may have contained sensitive personal details that should not have been made public.
The investigation must clarify whether all legal requirements for the protection of personal information were followed during official statements by state authorities. The Inspectorate will analyze the recordings from the briefing and determine whether officials committed a breach of confidentiality rules.
The results of the investigation are expected in the coming weeks. If it is proven that a data leak occurred, the responsible individuals could face disciplinary action, and the institutions will need to implement measures for stricter control during future public appearances.
