US Attorney Ellis Boyle announced Tuesday a modified whistleblower program. It targets companies that engage in fraud involving federal government programs, commit crimes involving criminal aliens, and support cartels.
The program is designed “to encourage early voluntary self-disclosure of criminal conduct and to promote effective enforcement of criminal laws,” according to the policy posted on the US attorney’s website. It applies throughout the 44 counties of the Eastern District of North Carolina.
“Our office focuses on companies, not just individuals, that steal taxpayer dollars from government programs, help cartels, and aid criminal aliens,” Boyle said in a news release. “Too often, companies that receive government funds are the principal actors of criminal conduct. This EDNC Whistleblower Program makes it easier for insiders, or anyone else who have knowledge of corporate crime, to come forward with that information before it is too late. Folks can win-win by stopping fraud and avoiding prison.”
