Police say about a dozen drivers shared images from onboard cameras in a group chat, and ATM opened an internal review.
- On Tuesday, Milan prosecutors opened an investigation into a WhatsApp group where about a dozen tram drivers allegedly exchanged comments about images of female passengers captured by onboard CCTV cameras.
- The case surfaced after a passenger spotted an off-duty driver viewing the images on his phone and contacted an Instagram influencer, prompting Milan's public transport operator ATM to launch an internal investigation on Sunday, June 14.
- Following a complaint joined by consumer association Codacons, investigators believe the images were obtained from onboard CCTV systems and shared within the group alongside jokes about passengers' bodies.
- Police have conducted several searches as the probe centers on alleged unauthorized access to company IT systems, with at least one person currently under investigation.
- This incident occurs amid heightened scrutiny of online misogyny in Italy, following Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's 2025 public stance against unauthorized publication of manipulated images of women.
