The report came before the dismissal

In the previous publication, we saw how every serious investigation begins with the chronological reconstruction of the facts.

Today, we take another step in that reconstruction.

One of the earliest documents in the chronology records a simple, yet fundamental fact.

The report of the irregularities came before my dismissal.

In June 2001, I formally reported irregularities that I had witnessed at Eni's Brazilian subsidiary.

At that moment, I simply complied with what the Company's own Code of Ethics required: to report conduct and situations that were inconsistent with its principles and values.

At that time, I could never have imagined that this decision would completely change my personal and professional life for the next twenty-five years.

This document occupies a crucial place in the chronology because it establishes an objective starting point.

First came the report.

Then came the events that ultimately led to my dismissal.

This sequence of events is not a matter of my interpretation.

It derives directly from the dates contained in the documents produced at the time.

It may seem like a minor detail.

But in any serious investigation, the chronological sequence of events is essential to understanding the context in which each decision was made.

That is precisely why I chose to begin this documentary series with the chronology of events.

In the coming publications, we will see how the documents produced immediately after my dismissal make it possible to reconstruct, step by step, the development of this story over nearly twenty-five years.

Once again, the purpose is not to persuade anyone.

The purpose is to make the documents available so that every reader may examine them and reach their own independent conclusions.

Because, from this point forward,
the documents will continue to speak for themselves.

To be continued on Wednesday.

When the cronology speaks for itself

Over the past few weeks, I have explained how the official document published by Eni in 2017 (Questions & Answers before the General Shareholders' Meeting) became the focal point of all the discussions that followed.

I also explained why I requested its rectification from the Company's Data Protection Officer (DPO) and subsequently filed a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (GPDP - Autorità Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

Starting today, a new stage begins.

In the coming publications, the documentary evidence will be presented one document at a time.

We begin with the "Chronology of Facts for the Reconstruction of Events".

This document contains no opinions.

No interpretations.

No conclusions.

It simply organizes, in chronological order, the main events and the documents produced over nearly twenty-five years.

And precisely because of that, it allows us to answer a fundamental question:

📌 Is the sequence of events consistent with the official narrative published by Eni in 2017?

Every serious investigation begins with the chronological reconstruction of the facts. It is through chronology that one can determine whether events fit together in a logical and documentary manner or whether inconsistencies emerge that deserve further examination.

When examining this chronology, several objective facts immediately stand out.

In June 2001, I reported irregularities that I had witnessed at Eni's Brazilian subsidiary, acting in strict compliance with the Company's Code of Ethics.

Shortly thereafter, I was dismissed.

The internal audit later referred to by the Company in its reconstruction of the events was carried out after my dismissal.

This chronological sequence is not a matter of my interpretation.

It derives simply from the dates contained in the documents themselves, produced throughout the reconstruction of the events.

It was precisely this chronology that I later submitted to Eni's Board of Directors (in 2002, 2009, 2014, 2020 and 2023), to the Brazilian National Contact Point (NCP Brazil) for the OECD - OCDE Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (in 2022), to the Company's Data Protection Officer (in 2024), to GPDP (Italian Data Protection Authority) in 2025, and to several other institutions.

The purpose of this document has never been to persuade anyone.

Its purpose is much simpler.

To organize the events so that anyone may examine them objectively and determine, for themselves, whether the sequence of events is consistent with the narrative later published by the Company.

In the coming publications, each of these events will be examined individually, always on the basis of the corresponding documentary evidence.

Because, from this point forward, the documents will continue to speak for themselves.

To be continued on Tuesday.
