Almuñécar Town Hall has opened an investigation into the leaking of data on municipal workers, which was later posted on social media.

It all came to light on the 6th of August when details on salaries corresponding to April this year found their way onto social media.

As soon as this was brought to the attention of the Town Council, they interviewed the affected workers as well as consulted the municipal legal department on how to proceed.

Once completed they will have to hand over their findings to the IT-Offences Department of the Guardia Civil.

“The Town Council is not going to allow this kind of thing, which infringes the data protection law (Article 52),” said the Town Council spokeperson.
