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 Events 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.

Eni's narratives and my documentary evidence

Throughout this week, we have seen how a single document published by Eni in 2017 — "Questions & Answers before the General Shareholders' Meeting" — became the center of every discussion that followed.

We also saw that I submitted a formal request for rectification to Eni's Data Protection Officer (DPO), asking that certain statements be examined in light of the body of documentary evidence gathered over more than two decades.

The Company decided to leave the document unchanged.

From this point forward, however, the discussion is no longer about positions or interpretations.

It is about documents.

Over the coming weeks, I will present some of the key documents that form the body of evidence in this case.

🔹 Documents produced by ENI itself.

🔹 Documents issued by Brazilian public authorities.

🔹 Documents issued by Italian public authorities.

🔹 Documents produced by independent third parties.

Each publication will examine one specific issue.

Each document will be presented in the context in which it was created.

And each reader will be able to compare it directly with the statements contained in Eni's official document published in 2017.

The objective is not to convince.

The objective is not to ask anyone to accept my version of the facts.

The objective is exactly the same one that inspired the creation of Eni's Way:

To make the documents available so that each person can reach their own conclusions and perhaps answer one simple question:

📌 "Why has Eni never conducted an independent investigation into the Flinto Case?"

In the next publication, we will begin with the first issue:

The chronology of my dismissal and the sequence of events that led to the reporting of irregularities within ENI's Brazilian subsidiary.

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

To be continued on Monday.
