Monaco has reportedly passed a new law that explicitly bans unauthorized photography and filming of guests inside Monte Carlo’s casinos and hotels.

The update to the country’s Penal Code makes it a criminal offense to capture or share images of individuals without their consent in these venues.

The changes, made through updates to Monaco’s Penal Code, are now legally enforceable under articles 308-2, 308-3, and 308-4, according to a report by iGamingToday. Article 308-2 prohibits taking photos or videos of individuals without their consent, while articles 308-3 and 308-4 go a step further by banning the sharing or distribution of any such content.

This means that photographing or filming people without permission in casinos and hotels in Monaco is now considered a criminal offense.
