8 Feb 2024 Enel Energia S.p.A.Garante: record fine of 79 million EUR against Enel Energia over illegal telemarketing ItalyMarketing and consent €79.1m

Unauthorised intermediaries exploited security gaps in Enel's customer and activation systems for illegal telemarketing; over several years, at least 9,300 contracts were activated, 978 of which were purchased from companies outside the sales network. The Italian data protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) imposed 79,107,101 EUR; the Rome court (Tribunale di Roma) upheld the decision on 18 September 2025, and an appeal is pending.

What organisations can take from it

Companies that organise sales through partners must secure their systems against third-party access and reject contracts from unknown sources.
