250K Euros to LaLiga for their app that tries to find bars illegally broadcasting their games by sampling user's microphones once a minute. I remember when it was discovered what it was doing thinking this must be a massive GDPR issue. I'm a little bit surprised that the fine is this low:

"The national Football League (LaLiga) was fined for offering an app which once per minute accessed the microphone of users' mobile phones in order to detect pubs screening football matches without paying a fee. In the opinion of the AEPD LaLiga did not adequately inform the users of the app about this practice. Furthermore, the app did not meet the requirements for withdrawal of consent."

I'm impressed at the creativity and disgusted that they thought this would be okay at the same time.

Considering some others in there this feels like a slap on the wrist

If they stopped the conduct then it is not supposed to be anymore than a slap on the wrist. GDPR is meant to correct behaviour, not to punish.

Very little money for the kind of intrusion they did.
