133However, provided the interests of persons against whom proceedings have been brought and of persons who have been witnesses in the investigation are protected, no provision of the Staff Regulations prevents the final investigation report being sent to a third party who has a legitimate interest in knowing details of it, as is the case of a person who has submitted a request under Article 24 of the Staff Regulations. Furthermore, it is apparent from case-law that institutions have sometimes adopted that solution, by sending complainants the final investigation report, either before the action is brought, by annexing it to the final decision taken on the complaint (Lo Giudice v Commission, paragraph 163, and Cerafogli v ECB, paragraph 108), or, as in the present case, pursuant to a measure of organisation of procedure decided on by the Tribunal.
