Protection of whistleblowers

The Anti-Fraud Office of Catalonia is the Independent Whistleblower Protection Authority in Catalonia. Its designation, both for the public and private sectors, is established by the seventh additional provision of Law 3/2023, of March 16, fiscal, financial, administrative and public sector measures for 2023.

The processing of alerts submitted through the external channel of the Anti-Fraud Office of Catalonia is managed separately from the protection functions. The Unit for Whistleblowers Protection of the Prevention Directorate provides support and accompaniment to people who, due to submitting an alert (internally or externally) or publicly revealing an infringement, may be the subject of acts of reprisal.

If you find yourself in a situation like the one described and want to get in touch with us, you can send an email to autoritatproteccio@antifrau.cat
