Whistleblower Protection Law No. 29542
Law No. 29542 establishes protection and benefits for public officials, former employees, and any citizen who substantiated reports of arbitrary or illegal acts by public servants. The Comptroller General of the Republic is designated as the competent authority to receive and evaluate these complaints. Beneficiaries are granted identity confidentiality, protection against dismissal or removal from office, and potential fine reductions or monetary rewards for cooperation, while malicious denunciations are penalized with fines up to five Tax Units. The law also amends Law No. 27378 to expand the scope of effective collaboration benefits in organized crime cases to include crimes involving public resources and specific criminal organizations.
