If you wish to inform the Ministry of Justice on facts that may be considered an infringement affecting the Ministry and which you have learnt about as a result of an employment or professional relationship with them, you may report it through this channel or check it if already submitted, by accessing the form link.
Analysis of the information received:
The Ministry of Justice shall analyze the information received to determine how it must be processed, conducting all necessary verifications and actions deemed appropriate.
The information received shall not be processed:
1.º When the facts described lack any credibility, the information provided is scarce, the description is excessively generic and vague, or there is lack of proof which prevents reasonable verification of the same and minimal determination of how said facts are to be processed.
2.º When the facts reported do not entail infringement of the legal system related to application of Law 2/2023, of 20 February, regulating people reporting about regulatory infringements and the fight against corruption, described in this channel.
3.º When the information manifestly lacks grounds or there are, in the administrator’s opinion, reasonable indications that they were obtained by committing a crime. In this case, aside from the dismissal, the information shall be immediately forwarded to the Prosecutor's Office.
4.º When the information does not contain new or significant data on infringements compared to previous information on which the corresponding procedures were already completed, unless new legal and factual circumstances justify proceeding otherwise.
5.º When processing the information is not the competence of the Ministry of Justice.
Guarantee of confidentiality:
Except when the person reporting the information expressly requests otherwise, there shall be full confidentiality regarding their identity, which shall not be disclosed to anyone.
To this end, all communications, verification actions or requests for documentation conducted with third parties, shall omit details related to the identity of the person reporting the information, as well as any others which may fully or partially lead to their identification, and the same shall be done with the data corresponding to any third party mentioned in the information provided.
Likewise, when actions need to be transferred to other bodies for processing as appropriate, that established in the paragraph above shall apply to the documents forwarded to said bodies, except when it is a Judicial Authority, the Prosecutor's Office or the competent administrative Authority related to the criminal, disciplinary or sanctioning investigation. In these cases, prior to disclosing your identity, the person reporting shall be sent a communication explaining the reasons for said disclosure, unless this information may compromise the investigation or judicial procedure.
Processing of personal data derived from applying Law 2/2023, shall be subject to that stipulated in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council, of 27 April 2016, in Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, of Personal Data Protection and guarantee of digital rights, in Organic Law 7/2021, of 26 May, of protection of personal data processed for the prevention, detection, investigation and legal proceeding of criminal infringements and execution of criminal sanctions.
The informant is not an interested party:
It should be taken into account that the informant, merely for reporting about the existence of a possible criminal or administrative infringement, is not considered an interested party, but rather a collaborator of the Administration so that the investigation carried out shall always be initiated ex officio.
The informant has no authority to lodge an appeal or complaint in relation to the results of said actions.
In the event issues are detected or there are questions about its functioning
