The Whistleblower Crisis was a short series of skirmishes and incidents following a series of leaks by Inyurstan whistleblower Jean-Paulo Lancorda.

Background

Lancorda Leaks

In early May of 2015, a private cyber-security consultant transfered a number of classified emails and other records to VickyLeaks, who then released them to the public. The crimes implicated Inyurstan politicians across the board, including representatives from all parties (Coalition Inyursta Primiero, Coalition Doux-Liberalismo and the Alternative Coalition), in a number of crimes including embezzlement, obstruction of justice, relations to the Atlantic Cartel, use of public funds for drugs and prostitutes, lying under oath, and numerous other examples of corruption. A major reveal of the leaks tied many vocal opponents of Inyursta's Sniff & Search laws to having taken money from shell companies traced back to the Atlantic Cartel. Jean-Paulo Lancorda shortly took responsibility for leaks, and was quickly whisked away into witness protection while the ISD and Inyurstan National Police cleaned house.

Adding insult to injury, it was also revealed that some members of the Alternative Coalition implicated in the leaks also held communist and radical socialist sympathies; including plans to end or otherwise stall the War effort in Lolloh, push for a lienient or otherwise pro-Marcon De'Rouje resolution to the Tirmeno situation, and end arms deals to Lebanon Christian Republic following the latter's crack-down on leftist-afiliated groups. This fact was taken and highlighted by rival media conglomerates Telecoup and Augillo Un; who mutually labelled the findings as "CommieGate", and ran competeing stories about outrageous socialist infiltration plots.

A union boss and "community organizer" by the name of Alberto Cassias de la Plata, who was revealed to have received money from implicated Inyurstan politicians, was extrajudiciously executed by rural Cuscatlani paramilitary group Commando Sombre as a sign of "solidarity" with their Inyurstan brothers and sisters. De la Plata was killed by 100-knife death, an execution method usually reserved for cartel leadership.

Bryistic Asylum Offer and Death of Senator Sãorules

In response to the murder of de la Plata in Cuscatlan, Brytene offered assylum to individuals of leftist ideological leanings implicated in the leaks. Senator Lanson Sãorules, who had already fled the country and was believed to be stopping off in the Caribbean sought to accept the offer of asylum. It is unknown if the disgraced senator knew at the time that the offer was only extended to those of leftist political leanings implicated in the leaks; regardless, Saorules was allowed into the country.

Shortly thereafter, Saorules and his aide were both killed in Brytene.
