Those who denounce corruption or wrongdoing by colleagues, both in the public and private sectors, will have a protection ad hoc, although his complaint will not be entitled to a reward: it provides for the PDL on “whistleblowing” of Members of the House approved with 281 yes, 71 no and 18 abstentions and now goes to the Senate.

Room: ok whistleblowing law, goes to the Senate
The measure, which is at first reading in the House and comes from the texts presented by M5S and Pd , it is considerably weakened compared to the original draft. It provides that the public employee who, in the interest of the integrity of public administration, complaint ANAC or the ordinary courts or accounting misconduct of which is learned based on their employment relationship can not be punished, dismissed or subjected to a measure discrimination due to signaling. Any measures of discrimination against the whistleblower will be sanctioned with fines ANAC 5 to 30 thousand euro.

Identity “blanket” to those who report
Since the reporting of the offense, then, must be made in good faith: the public employee reporting an unlawful act must have a “reasonable belief founded on facts, that the unlawful actions reported have occurred.” The identity of the whistleblower will not be revealed, and for this purpose you may also use encryption tools.

No Forza Italy and FDI, for Pd and M5s
Badly against Forza Italy was expressed that, with Francesco Paolo Sisto, denounced as the text represents an “incitement to denunciation,” which, according to Edmund Cirielli of FDI, is “closer to the models of Nazi Germany and Communist Russia.” M5S satisfied with Francesca Businarolo, that “this legislation is already operating in other countries and provides a necessary protection to those who report abuse.” Also positive was the judgment of the Democratic Party, which voted convincingly text.
