伦敦10月12日电——英国政府于周一表示，英国严重欺诈办公室正在制定计划，以奖励举报欺诈和行贿等经济犯罪的内部举报人。
LONDON, Oct 12 - Britain's Serious Fraud Office is developing plans to reward whistleblowers who report economic crimes such as fraud and bribery, the government said on Monday.
此举将使英国更接近美国的模式，即利用经济激励措施来鼓励内部举报人提供有助于揭露违法行为的证据。这一变革是在2026年7月的一项关于欺诈起诉的审查中被建议的。
The move would bring Britain closer to the US model, where financial incentives are used to encourage whistleblowers to provide evidence that can help uncover wrongdoing. The change was recommended in a July 2026 review into fraud prosecution.
根据公开征求意见的提议，只有当内部举报人提供能够导致定罪或其他执法行动的大量、原始信息时，才有资格获得奖励。
Under proposals set out for public consultation, whistleblowers would be eligible for a reward only if they provide significant, original information that leads to a conviction or other enforcement action.
英国严重欺诈办公室的一名发言人表示：“我们对此次征求意见表示欢迎，此前我们长期呼吁引入一项激励内部举报人的计划。我们鼓励所有有见解的人士参与意见征求，并期待与我们的政府合作伙伴就后续步骤开展合作。”
'We welcome this consultation having long-called for the introduction of a scheme to incentivise whistleblowers. We encourage all those with a view to contribute to the consultation and we look forward to working with our government partners on next steps," a spokesperson for the SFO said.
