How to report fraud or corruption

The Inspectorate General receives all allegations of fraud, corruption, collusion or coercion in connection with EIB-financed projects or concerning EIB Group staff. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Inspectorate General immediately. Alternatively, allegations can be submitted to OLAF.

Allegations under this policy should be made to the ‘Investigations Contact Point’ at the EIB:

  1. by letter to the European Investment Bank, 100 Bd. Konrad Adenauer, L-2950 Luxembourg;
  2. by email to investigations@eib.org
  3. or by fax to + 352 4379 6 4297

These contact points should also be used to report allegations of money laundering or terrorist financing affecting EIB operations or activities.

The Bank has formulated a set of rules to govern the handling of allegations of fraud, corruption and other forms of illegal activity affecting EIB Group activities (How to report fraud or corruption). Their purpose is to provide clear guidelines for dealing with allegations.

All allegations of prohibited practices, money laundering or terrorist financing will be treated by the EIB as confidential and may be made anonymously. If you prefer to remain anonymous, you may wish to make use of a free email service (such as Hotmail or Yahoo) to create an email account using a pseudonym. This way, we could correspond with you as necessary, to seek clarification or additional information. This would be helpful for us in pursuing your allegation.

When contacting IG/IN, please make your complaint as specific as possible and include details such as

  • what alleged wrongdoing you are reporting,
  • where and when (dates and times if available),
  • who is/are the perpetrators,
  • how the individual or firm committed the alleged wrongdoing, and
  • why you believe the activity was improper.
Include the project name, if you know it. If possible, provide information on documentation available to corroborate the allegations, and names of witnesses to the alleged wrongdoing. Let us know how you can be reached for further information or clarification.
