The Supreme Court of Cassation: tailing employees for extended periods is legitimate.
With the judgment n. 17723 dated 18th July, 2017, the Supreme Court of Cassation addressed the matter of the employer’s so called “defensive controls” carried out by private investigators, that proved to be legitimate in the Court’s opinion. The Judges established that following the employee for an extended period does not violate neither the privacy regulation nor the labor law.
