Note in tema di Whistleblowing

Abstract

Whistleblowing has the purpose of supporting the reporting of activities considered illegal or otherwise incorrect, and has as a prerequisite the protection of the reporters; this, in the public sector, facilitates the reporting of the conduct of passive corruption, as well as the misuse of public funds, fraud and other forms of corruption. In the private sector, it facilitates the reporting of active corruption and other offenses committed in the corporate area; it also helps to prevent and detect corruption in commercial transactions. The work, after analyzing the experiences of other countries, focuses on discipline and proposals at the supranational level, particularly examining the proposal for a European Union Directive published on 23 April 2018. Finally, the domestic context is examined, with particular reference to the provisions recently introduced by the 179/2017 law.
