European Court for Human Rights: Unbridled access to bank data by tax authorities violates Article 8 ECHR

  • The European Court for Human Rights ruled that uncontrolled access by tax authorities to citizens’ bank data violates Article 8 ECHR on the right to privacy.
  • Italian legislation was deficient, lacking clear conditions, safeguards, and effective judicial review, giving authorities “unlimited discretion.”
  • Italy is required to amend its laws to ensure specific conditions and independent oversight, in line with the binding judgment under Article 46 ECHR.
