Overview

• The Supreme Court definitively rejected Mediaset's appeal, affirming the €200,000 indemnification awarded to María del Monte for moral damages.
• The case involved the 2021 broadcast of hidden-camera recordings from 2004 on the program 'Sálvame,' which exposed the singer's private life and linked her to theft without evidence.
• The court ruled that the repeated violations, including prior similar cases in 2014 and 2015, significantly aggravated the emotional harm caused.
• Sensationalist framing during prime-time broadcasts, including provocative titles and commentary, amplified the severity of the privacy intrusion.
• This ruling reinforces the judicial protection of fundamental rights, emphasizing the proportionality of compensation in cases of severe and repeated media violations.
