EU regulator warns Europol could be breaking data rules
Law enforcement agency Europol is likely to have mishandled troves of personal data in breach of the agency’s own rules, according to the data protection agency in charge of policing EU institutions.
In a letter dated September 17 — of which a redacted version was made public, which POLITICO saw in full — the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) said there was a “high likelihood that Europol continually processes personal data on individuals for whom it is not allowed to do so.”
