The remuneration will be received by whistleblowers provided at least one of the following conditions are met:

  • If five years have elapsed since the death of the donor or the heir to the State and the competent authority has not been aware of the existence of such property from another source.
  • If it is possible to reopen a lawsuit or overturn a final decision and to give (by final decision or parliament) the property to the State or through legal entities.
