What is the cost of truth? What is the cost of lying?


It is important to underline that, during these more than 20 years, Eni has treaded dangerous terrain. The company is treading on dangerous ground now because of its secrets and lies to my disadvantage.

Note that when the truth about my dismissal compromised Eni, the company went on to lie and lie until it no longer remembered the truth. But it's still a lie! And that's exactly how I was fired from AGIP Brazil, and I've been suffering reprisals from Eni all these years... Lies!

I confess that during these two decades, I was so focused on showing Eni the truth about my dismissal that I didn't realize that the company never wanted to find the truth. But the truth has always been there inside the company: in the whistleblowing files of the internal audit department, in the executives' drawers and on the agendas of the Board of Directors' meetings, even though Eni continues to pretend not to see the truth!

Also note that the truth does not care about people. Truth doesn't care about organizations. The truth lies in wait, waiting as long as it takes, to one day appear, to one day be revealed.

It's undeniable, in all these years, Eni has been distorting, manipulating, and fearing the cost of the truth, whether reputational or financial. But I ask: how much does the lie cost?

Every lie that Eni tells about me - in non-compliance with the premises, principles, and values of Responsible Business Conduct (RBC), which has Ethics as its main foundation, as well as in total disagreement with the corporate and international commitments assumed before the its Stakeholders - increases the company’s debt in relation to the truth. And, as it always happens, sooner or later, one way or another, this debt will be charged and must be paid!
