The Whistleblower Law, transposed into the national legal system on December 20th (Law 93/2021), provides protection for those who report or publicly disclose breaches of EU law, companies with more than 50 employees being required to create internal reporting channels that ensure the conditions of secrecy, confidentiality and security for the whistleblower. Henrique Salinas, CCA's Partner and Head of the Criminal Law & Compliance Area, participates in the next "Falar Direito" on JE TV and analyses the whistleblower protection regime, which will come into force on June 18th .
