A Tesco worker is facing court accused of illegally obtaining customer details from the supermarket giant’s database and e-mailing them to himself.
Thomas Wengierow, 47, of Pitalpin Court, is alleged to have “knowingly or recklessly obtained or disclosed” the data without consent on February 21 last year at Tesco’s customer services centre in Dundee’s Baird Avenue.
Prosecutors say he copied customer details from a database at the call centre and transferred it into an email before sending it to himself.
Wengierow did not appear at Dundee Sheriff Court to face the charge against him under the Data Protection Act on summary complaint.
Sheriff Lorna Drummond QC continued the case without plea until next week for papers to be served on Wengierow.
