Ministero dell’Economia e delle Finanze – €12,000 Fine (Italy, 2026)

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 12,000 on the Ministero dell’Economia e delle Finanze. The controller had been running an 'open competition, based on qualifications and examinations, for the recruitment of a total of (...)'. The competition comprises a preliminary selection test and subsequent stages. By law, individuals with certain medical conditions may be exempt from certain tests. After the preliminary selection, the controller published a list of candidates eligible for the next round, which was visible to all applicants. This list noted which candidates had been exempted from certain tests, allowing conclusions to be drawn about their medical conditions.
