The Guarantor: 'The images of the body of Chiara Poggi are harmful to the dignity of the victim'

The Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante) has ruled that images showing the body of Chiara Poggi, a young woman murdered in Garlasco in 2007, were unjustifiably damaging to her dignity and that of her family. This decision led to a fine of nearly 60,000 euros imposed on two Mediaset programs, 'Le Iene' and 'Zona Bianca,' for broadcasting these images without adding any contextual information to the narrative surrounding the case. The investigation was initiated by Chiara’s parents, Rita and Giuseppe Poggi. The ruling emphasizes that such imagery was unnecessary and violated privacy protections.
