STA Travel among holiday firms accused of lifting Facebook pictures for its brochures

Anthea Jirgens’ image in the Bamba Experience brochure

Two holidaymakers are seeking compensation and considering legal action after a snap taken on a Greek island and posted on Facebook found its way into a travel company’s brochures and on to its social channels.

The photo appeared in STA Travel’s Europe Travel Guide and in brochures and social platforms for Mexico City-based Bamba Experience.

The image shows 24-year-old student Anthea Jirgens pictured in front of a Greek village on Santorini. It was taken by her then boyfriend Scott Ennever and they say used without permission.
