A whistleblower is any person, group or institution that sends an alarm signal in the hope of triggering a process of regulation or collective mobilization, after becoming aware of a proven danger, risk or scandal. Its role is crucial in modern society, where internal control systems can sometimes fail or be compromised. Whistleblowers act as guardians of the public interest, exposing illegal or unethical behavior that might otherwise go unnoticed. According to the president of HABG, “the protection of whistleblowers is essential to fight corruption. It encourages individuals to report wrongdoing safely, without fear of reprisals. It promotes discouraging the commission of acts of corruption, improving transparency, strengthening public trust and identifying weaknesses in control systems.” This mechanism seeks to create an environment where reports can be made without fear, thus encouraging more people to report acts of corruption
