Transport for London (TfL) is accused of wrongly fining hundreds of thousands of EU citizens as 'cash cows' for the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) by allegedly issuing fines after 'illegally obtaining drivers' personal data' since 2021. Over 320,000 penalties, some totaling thousands of euros, have been sent out, and the situation is being described as 'possibly one of the largest data breaches in EU history'. An immediate investigation has been demanded into the matter. TfL, while denying breaching data protection laws, has revealed that over 65 percent of appeals against ULEZ fines have been successful.
