Embattled fishing giant Samherji said it has made no financial or legal claims against whistleblower Johannes Stefansson.
The former CEO of Samherji's operations in Namibia is at the center of the cash-for-quotas scandal in the company's southern African division.
Stefansson says he has faced threats for the past three years from those involved in the scandal, leaving him constantly on guard.
The company moved to issue a press statement after Iceland's state broadcaster RUV held a radio discussion about the Courage Foundation, a trust set up by WikiLeaks for fundraising for the legal defense of whistleblowers and journalists.
