Whistleblower study highlights fragmented protection

Repubblika researcher Francesca Mangion’s study identifies gaps in published information about procurement disclosures and their outcomes, alongside fragmented referral arrangements. Whistleblowing International Network director Anna Myers told MaltaToday that existing mechanisms were not fulfilling their potential. In a separate Independent interview, she also highlighted how institutional fragmentation can leave potential whistleblowers unsure where to start. These are research findings and expert assessments, not court rulings. The practical question is whether people can report suspected wrongdoing safely and know which authority will act.
