Eni & Me: a story of incredible 23 years!

Dear Mr. Raphael Vermeir,

Today marks 23 long years since I was unfairly fired from Eni's Brazilian subsidiary in proven “retaliation”. And this is because, in accordance with Eni's Code of Ethics, I reported a “million-dollar scheme” involving, including, members of the Board of Directors of Agip Brazil.

In all these years, I have come into contact with five different compositions of the Board of Directors of Eni (2002, 2009, 2014, 2020 and 2023) under the management of three different CEOs. My intention has always been to raise awareness and convince the Italian oil giant to carry out the necessary "due diligence" of my case. But, instead of doing what needed to be done, Eni began to punish me for having had the boldness and courage to confront its executives with the truth of the facts, including three SLAPP suits.

Today I make new contact, this time with the “Control and Risk Committee” of the Eni Board of Directors of which you are the Chairman.

I would like you to be able to "require" Eni's Internal Audit Department so that, finally, "due diligence" is carried out on my case through the attached documents that make full proof that I am the “victim” of this story having my executive career destroyed and my retirement ripped out of my hands.

As an independent non-executive director to the Control and Risk Committee, you have an “ethical obligation” to definitely handle this case.

I hope you do the right thing!
