Aplicabilidade do whistleblowing no direito penal brasileiro para prevenção e apuração de delitos econômicos

Abstract

The scientific paper presented here aims to approach whistleblowing as a technique for determining the crimes against the Public Administration and the economic order, and, from the US legislation, to suggest a model of application in Brazilian Law. In order to do so, the institute will be treated in its completeness, from its conceptualization, through its historical evolution, the distinction for the prizewinning delation, showing its superiority. The country order is still very incipient when it comes to dealing with the issue, and the few legislative proposals do not give the necessary deepening to the forms of application of the institute. Therefore, the present paper suggests elements that demonstrate the importance of whistleblowing regulation in the reduction of cases of corruption both in the private sector, associated with rules of compliance, and the public sector, currently seen as the main tool in the fight against corruption.
