Despite legislation to protection of whistleblowers, these measures are not enough to ensure adequate anonymity and immunity against the powers to be. Some rich and powerful may not follow the word of the law and rely on their influence and network to penalise those who squeal against their bosses or errant colleagues and business associates.
