The Grison Quadroni Grison whistleblower will not be compensated – rts.ch
He is considered the best known whistleblower in Switzerland. Adam Quadroni made it possible to dismantle the largest cartellary agreement in construction. But the canton of Graubünden will not pay him any compensation to compensate for the descent into hell he experienced, after having denounced fraudulent practices.
The Grison Council of State announced Tuesday that it would not pay a penny in favor of the whistleblower. However, in June 2021, after yet another report punctuating this scandal, the Grison Government recognized the merits of its action and even expressed its recognition towards Adam Quadroni. This Tuesday, the authorities even stressed the particularly hard situation in which the whistleblower was plunged. But the three ministers present explained that there were no legal bases for compensation, both cantonal and federally.
>> Reread: 11 million sanction for gray companies associated in cartel
Last December, 4,300 people had signed a petition to ask the Council of State to grant him compensation, if only for the millions of francs from the taxpayer who were saved on the Canton’s public procurement, and for having done dismantle the cartel. In vain.
Denunciation
This father managed a small construction company in the very opulent region of the Engadine. In 2009, he can’t take it anymore. Ecoered by the prices outrageously inflated in his sector, he denounces the existence of a cartellary agreement, which he took advantage of, but which he no longer wants to be a part. It is talk of nearly 650 projects for several hundred million francs. His remarks have the effect of a bomb far beyond Graubünden, throughout Switzerland.
Menaces
His life changes completely after his denunciations. Adam Quadroni is banished from the company in his canton. His former manufacturers’ colleagues threaten him, and lead him hard by cutting him in particular the supply of equipment.
For their part, the authorities pretend not to believe it. In particular, he will undergo five police interventions, including a very muscular, with forced psychiatric internment in 2017, when he is made to pass for a dangerous Quérulent. He loses his family, his business and his house. Even today, two of his daughters refuse all contact with him.
