Italy prosecutor probes for any Facebook data breach

Reuters

ROME, March 23 (Reuters) - A Rome prosecutor has opened a probe into whether any breaches of Facebook data had occurred in Italy after a Britain-based political consultancy accessed information about 50 million users, a judicial source said on Friday.

The country's postal police, which handles cases related to the Internet, is investigating the matter, the source said.

Magistrates in Italy can open an investigation without identifying a suspect or specifying a crime. The judicial source said the investigation would look into whether Facebook data was used by third parties to influence Italian elections.
