Mayor fined for secret camera spying
A court in southern Germany has fined a former mayor of Reichenlingen 7,200 euros after it was proven that he secretly installed a hidden camera beneath his secretary's desk without her knowledge, to monitor her and her visitors. The footage was streamed to his phone, and some recordings were saved. A settlement was reached that resulted in a reduction of the sentence, with the former mayor paying 10,000 euros in compensation to the employee. As a consequence of the scandal, he decided not to run for another term. The case sheds light on privacy violations and their impact on the lives of local officials.
