In Italy today, Judge Oscar Magi convicted three U.S.-based Google (GOOG) executives of violating the privacy of a disabled boy in 2006 when a video was posted on Google Video of students bullying a disabled boy. The judge handed down six-month prison sentences to David Drummond, senior VP and chief legal officer; Peter Fleischer, chief privacy counsel; and George Reyes, the former CFO.
The Wall Street Journal notes that the three don’t have to worry about extradition or jail time, since sentences of under three years are automatically suspended in Italy.
The Google execs will appeal the ruling.
The three men were acquitted of criminal defamation, a charge which carries a longer prison sentence. |
