INTRODUCTION
Art. 31.bis. of the Criminal Code talks about the responsibility of the legal person, in it, not only the criminally responsible persons are determined, but in its point 5, it establishes the requirements to be fulfilled by the crime prevention management models to be implemented in the organizations. One of these requirements is the existence of a means of reporting possible non-compliance:
"They shall impose the obligation to report possible risks and non-compliances to the body in charge of monitoring the operation and observance of the prevention model."
On the other hand, and in compliance with the provisions of Law 2/2023, of February 20, regulating the protection of persons who report regulatory infringements and the fight against corruption, specifically in its Article 10 (private sector) and Article 13 (public sector), the obligation to establish internal reporting channels is imposed.
