Is there a expert in English who can deduce facts from a single sentence. If so I have a challange for you.

Sentence is "It is denied that the claiment has been dismissed for making a disclosure in the public interest or at all"

Breakdown of the sentence

[It is denied that the claiment has been dismissed] meaning
We have not dismissed the claiment
[for making a disclosure in the public interest] meaning
for doing this particular thing
[or at] meaning
He has not been dismissed at all "full stop","period","end of story"

He hasn't been dismissed for " blowing the whistle " but for an entirely different reason.

In other words, he has been sacked, but not for the reasons he is claiming.

That's how I would translate it.
