title: [Sanctions against fraudsters and the situation of whistleblowers with respect to the law].
abstract: Those who commit fraud should compensate their victims for the damage. Plagiarism and dissemination of faked products could lead to criminal sanctions. Intellectual fraud does not systematically lead to criminal sanctions. Those who commit fraud can be sanctioned by disciplinary committees. When an employee discover a violation of the research standards, he is not obliged to call the prosecutor. Whistleblowers, in the public health field, are not protected by labour law.
