Code: 1436

EU Act 1436 refers to the Danish Act No. 1436 of 29 June 2021 on the protection of whistleblowers (the Whistleblower Act), which implements an EU Directive (EU) 2019/1937 and creates a comprehensive framework for the protection of persons who report breaches of EU law and other serious matters, both in public authorities and private companies. The Act ensures the anonymity of the whistleblower, prohibits retaliation, and requires organisations to establish internal and external reporting arrangements, including with the Danish Data Protection Authority.

This French company suspected of financial crime, internally.

Atos: The French IT flagship company suffered an unprecedented collapse in 2024, with its share price falling by around 95%. The downturn was triggered by the revelation of a severe debt crisis, long-standing accounting issues, and massive cost overruns on several large, complex projects worth billions of euros. These problems exposed deep structural weaknesses in the company’s management, governance, and financial controls. As liquidity dried up and confidence among investors and clients evaporated, Atos faced an acute risk of insolvency. Given the company’s strategic importance to France—particularly in areas such as cybersecurity, supercomputing, and public-sector IT—the crisis prompted direct intervention by the French government to prevent a disorderly collapse and to safeguard critical national capabilities.

This is a C to G Case, a horror story for a courthouse, the case is now closed.

In 2024, in a specific case, a judgment was rendered, which was changed after our intervention. The change was made on the basis of a written request to the court, in which we pointed out significant legal shortcomings in the judgment. The judgment was then quickly reversed, as it was a violation of applicable legislation on the part of the court of appeals. The case cannot be commented on further, but the party in question, who had originally been convicted, was acquitted after we intervened in the case. If the judgment had not been changed, the situation would have raised questions about abuse of office, which is punishable – even for a judge.
