On NT+ Diritto by Il Sole 24 Ore, an article by Gaspare Roma and Ilaria Uletto examines decision no. 951/2025 of the Tribunal of Bergamo, which for the first time in Italy recognizes moral damages for a whistleblower who has been the victim of retaliation.
This ruling marks a historic step, firmly affirming that the moral suffering caused by threats, isolation, mobbing, and aggression is a real harm, deserving immediate protection and eligible for compensation even through presumptive evidence.
According to the Tribunal, reporting wrongdoing is not an act against the organization, but a fundamental contribution to legality and to the dignity of workers.
