Directive 7.6: Citing names
Journalists should not publish the name or any other detail that would make it possible to identify (outside his or her immediate circle) a person involved in a legal action. The following exceptions to this rule are permitted:
When justified by overwhelming public interest. When a person exercises a political mandate or an important public function and is prosecuted for having committed acts incompatible with such a responsibility. When a person is already well known in a specific area, and the acts of which he or she is accused have something to do with the grounds for his or her reputation. When the person reveals his or her own identity, or expressly accepts that it is revealed. When publication is indispensable to avoid confusion that would be prejudicial to a third party.
