> Presumably, someone who the journalists wrote about alleged that the journalists were not complying with GDPR in how they obtained and used the data. That somebody is the chief of the ruling party, Liviu Dragnea, president of one houses of parliament, who almost got to be named prime minister if not for an earlier conviction for electoral fraud. He was now found guilty in a second unrelated criminal probe, and is appealing the sentence while at the same time trying to steer the legislative process and pressure his own party to decriminalize a large swath of offenses pertaining to his case, namely abuse of public office. The journalists have recovered a large trove of damaging documents that are related to yet another criminal case (3rd, if you're counting) in which he is being investigated. The head of the data protection agency is a former colleague from the same party and is herself under criminal investigation for fraud. Yeah, so these are the watchers.
