Abstract

Without some of the important information brought into light by whistleblowers, many current scandals would not have occurred. It is undeniable that whistleblowing brought into the public domain can insert a previously unforeseen and incorrigible milestone in the biography of whistleblowers, which can lead to financial loss, loss of work, affect private life, and even health. Even in situations where the whistleblower acts in good faith, he runs the risk of being publicly judged and having his reputation tarnished by lack of protection. Reporting persons may even be driven to complete isolation or pay with their lives or that of their families. In view of this, the European Union has foreseen in a new directive a better protection for whistleblowers, through the implementation of a trilateral whistleblower system.
