BfDI imposes fines on Vodafone

The Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI), Prof. Dr. Louisa Specht-Riemenschneider, has imposed two fines totalling 45 million euros on Vodafone GmbH. Due to malicious employees in partner agencies who broker contracts to customers on behalf of Vodafone, there had been fraud cases due to fictitious contracts or contract changes at the expense of customers, among other things.
