Anonymous whistleblowers can report online

Corruption and fraud can be reported anonymously through an internet system that keeps the whistleblower’s identity secret.

But unlike normal anonymous email tip offs, the new system is like a ‘blind letterbox’, in which the source can safely answer questions from investigators.

The Fraud Notification System has been launched by the EuropeanAnti-Fraud office, OLAF, and even while it was being tested it led to several tip-offs that are since being followed up.
