ManacorLast September, it was reported that a hacker had allegedly gained access to the Manacor City Council's computer system and discovered a document containing 160 lawsuits filed against the Council. The leaked documents included the plaintiffs' personal information, as well as details of the legal proceedings. After learning of the incident, Manacor City Council officials filed a complaint regarding the alleged unauthorized access to their computer system and the publication of confidential data. The Local Judicial Police Brigade then began investigating the matter. In recent weeks, the National Police were able to confirm that no hacker had attacked the City Council's computer system. The officers analyzed all the computer access logs for the specific documents containing the published data and ruled out external access via electronic means, thus focusing the investigation on the City Council itself.

All investigations focused suspicion on a single official, who allegedly accessed the documents, downloaded them, and subsequently passed them on to a third party.

Finally, at the end of last week, this official was summoned to the police station to give a statement and was informed of the charges against him. The entire investigation has been reported to the Judicial Authority, and the investigation will continue for the full clarification of the facts.
