A citizen submitted a request for access to information addressed to the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) to access the sanctioning resolutions published in the BOE regarding Popular Banca Privada, S.A. and the Banco Popular Español.

The CNMV did not provide the information on the understanding that this information was of a reserved nature, derived from its own specific regulations.

When the complaint was filed, the Council of Transparency and Good Governance considered that the limits to the right of access should be interpreted restrictively, as indicated by the courts of justice.
