Abstract
Apaza analyzes the first publicly known whistleblowing case in Peru during the Fujimori administration. The chapter also draws attention to the crucial structural and organizational changes that the whistleblowing case caused in the entire executive branch as many officials were fired, including the whistleblower. Apaza highlights the role of external whistleblowing mass media (i.e. TV channels and newspapers) and strong evidence (i.e. videos of illegal activity, thousands of pages of documents submitted to Congress and the public prosecutor) influencing the effectiveness of the whistleblowing case. Big reforms were made in government because of this case even though there was no legal protection against retaliation.
