Ombudsman wants list of reprimanded officers published

"The National Police will have to make public the names of those police leaders who were reprimanded in connection with the events of last October 23, as they are classified as public personal data based on the Data Protection Act," data privacy ombudsman Attila Péterfalvi established.

The news website Origo appealed to Péterfalvi after the National Police refused to give the names of those police officers reprimanded in the Papp commission report, nor confirm whether police chiefs had been deemed responsible.
