The Court has accepted the referral to the Grand Chamber of the case Grande Oriente d’Italia v. Italy.

The case concerned a search of a Masonic association’s premises ordered in the context of a parliamentary inquiry into the Mafia. Paper and digital documents, in particular a list of names and personal data of more than 6,000 members of the association, were seized during the search. 

The Court has also decided to reject a request to refer ten other cases.
