Public Interest Witnesses
Summary:
This study aims to approach the whistleblowing phenomenon from a criminal procedure law point of view. More specifically, the analysis of the new Article 45B CCP will be attempted after an introduction of international and national provisions for whistleblowers, including an attempt to conceptually define the term. It should be noted that the multifaceted nature of the phenomenon and its penetration into a variety of legal areas makes it necessary to refer to certain issues, such as the public interest and the duty of loyalty, which the worker – whistleblower bears. Although prima facie these issues appear to be devoid of criminal interest, they nevertheless have a catalytic effect on the mental conception of whistleblowing. Lastly, the case-law of the ECHR, which dealt with whistleblowing cases brought before it and whose decisions can provide useful conclusions, will be particularly mentioned.
