Calculated and conscious attitudes


During these nearly 24 long years, the actions of the Italian oil giant Eni were intentionally malicious, cruel, and unjust, always aimed at causing me harm and suffering. These actions reflect a complete lack of empathy and reveal a degradation of ethical standards. In a calculated and deliberate manner, Eni acted with the purpose of harming me, completely disregarding the values of respect, integrity, and justice, as well as its corporate commitments, including its Code of Ethics, and international commitments "accepted" and "followed" by the company, such as the "OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises", the "UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights", and the "Global Compact".


✅ Learn more about my nearly 24-year-long journey to reclaim and restore my name, honor, and reputation - which have been systematically undermined by Eni through ongoing retaliation, including three SLAPP-style lawsuits filed in Italy in 2010, 2017, and 2022, respectively:

Eni awarded “SLAPP Addict of the Year 2025”

With great symbolism - and no small amount of irony - the Italian oil giant Eni has just been named “SLAPP Addict of the Year”, in an event organized by a European coalition that denounces the abusive use of lawsuits to silence critics, journalists, and human rights defenders: The Coalition against SLAPPs in Europe (CASE).


In the video, Greenpeace Nederland representatives share how they were sued by Eni - even when their reports didn’t mention the company at all. Other lawsuits against organizations like Greenpeace Italia, ReCommon, and numerous environmental groups were also mentioned. The number and pattern of lawsuits earned Eni this (not-so-honorable) award as the undisputed champion of retaliatory litigation.

💥 What few people know is that I myself am a direct victim of three of these SLAPP actions, all filed by Eni against me:
➡️ One in 2010,
➡️ Another in 2017,
➡️ And the most recent, in 2022
All for defamation and slander, in retaliation for my efforts to seek justice and reparation.

Since 2001, I’ve been fighting to reclaim and restore my name, my honor, and my reputation, which have been systematically undermined by Eni through years of retaliatory practices. A symbolic example of this occurred in 2017, when Eni, responding to a public question from its critical shareholder Mauro Meggiolaro (Banca Etica), published on its website a demonstrably false version of my dismissal, in the document titled “Questions and Answers before the Shareholders’ Meeting”.

I went from whistleblower to villain!? But the truth always finds its way to the surface.

Eni, what is the cost of a lie?


For almost 25 long years, Eni has walked a dangerous path. At this moment, the company is treading on dangerous ground due to its secrets and lies against me.

Notice that when the truth about my dismissal compromised Eni, the company began lying repeatedly, to the point of losing sight of the truth. But it is still a lie! And that is exactly how I was dismissed from Agip do Brasil and have suffered retaliation from Eni all these years... Lies!

I must confess that, for more than two decades, I have been so focused on proving to the Italian oil giant the truth about my dismissal that I failed to realize that Eni never really wanted to find the truth. However, the truth has always been within the company: in the whistleblowing files of the Internal Audit Department, in the drawers of the executives handling my case, and in the agendas of the Board of Directors' meetings - despite Eni continuing to pretend not to see the truth.

Also, note that the truth does not care about people. The truth does not care about organizations. The truth lurks, waiting as long as necessary, to one day emerge, to one day be revealed.

As I have demonstrated and proven over all these years, Eni has distorted, manipulated, and feared the cost of the truth, whether reputational or financial. But I ask: 'What is the cost of a lie?'.

Every lie Eni tells about me increases its debt to the truth. And as always happens, sooner or later, in one way or another, that debt will be collected and will have to be paid".

Chief Legal Officer of Eni: Unanswered Questions!


Last week, something curious caught my attention: the Chief Legal Officer of the Italian oil giant Eni, Stefano Speroni, created a LinkedIn profile and, shortly after, accessed my profile.

Why does this matter? Because for a decade now, I have been actively publishing about my nearly 24-year-long battle to reclaim and restore my name, honor, and reputation, which have been systematically undermined by Eni since my unjust dismissal from its Brazilian subsidiary after I reported wrongdoing - strictly in line with the words and spirit of the company’s Code of Ethics.

Over all these years, I have reached out to five different compositions of the company's Board of Directors (in 2002, 2009, 2014, 2020, and 2023) under the leadership of three different CEOs: Vittorio Mincato, Paolo Scaroni, and Claudio Descalzi. Additionally, Mauro Meggiolaro, a critical shareholder of Eni, has brought my case forward for discussion in four Shareholders’ General Meetings (in 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021). In the 2018, despite positioning itself as our "mediator", the company never agreed to participate in a "mediation meeting". Eni adopted a similar stance in 2020 when it took part in the Mediation Agency of Rome - following an order from a judge of the Civil Court in the Italian capital - and again in 2023 during the "Good Offices" offered by the Brazilian NCP in response to my complaint regarding Eni’s non-compliance with the OECD - OCDE Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

As if that were not enough, I am currently facing three lawsuits with clear SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) characteristics, filed by Eni in 2010, 2017, and 2022 - two in the civil sphere and one in the criminal sphere. All of these cases are for alleged "defamation" and "slander".

The fact that Eni’s Chief Legal Officer created this profile and accessed mine is a clear indication that the Italian oil giant is well aware of the reputational impact of my exposure and the growing reach of my story. If the company truly honored the commitments it proclaims in its Code of Ethics and the international agreements it "claims" to "follow", it would not need to resort to systematic retaliation, including three hashtag#SLAPP lawsuits, in an attempt to discredit, intimidate, and silence me.

The truth may be uncomfortable, but it must be told!

Finally, some questions remain unanswered: Does the Chief Legal Officer’s visit to my LinkedIn profile have anything to do with my proposal for an amicable settlement - a request made by the company itself in November 2020 through the highest-ranking Italian authority in Brazil, the Italian Ambassador, which, incredibly, remains unanswered by Eni? Or is this a sign of yet another act of "new retaliation" that Eni is planning against me?

Time will tell… And you will hear about it here!

The Law of Sowing and Reaping


Surely, the Italian oil giant Eni is not familiar with the “Law of Sowing and Reaping”, which does not require knowledge of God's Word or even faith to manifest. And do you know why? Because this universal law is immutable and transcends the centuries, applying to both believers in Jesus and non-believers alike. This means that whatever we plant, we reap, for the fruit in the "Law of Sowing and Reaping" is determined by the seed. If you plant pineapples, you will never harvest strawberries. If you planted pineapples, you will harvest pineapples!

I must admit that I feel sorry - deeply sorry - for Eni's executives and Board members because they are completely unaware of how the Lord acts: 

✔️ “Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity, and the rod they wield in fury will be broken" (Proverbs 22:8 - NIV)

✔️ “Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them" (Proverbs 26:27 - NIV).

The Board of Directors of the Italian oil giant Eni may ignore the reality of the "Flinto case" and keep pretending not to know the truth of the facts (supported by irrefutable proofs), but it cannot ignore the consequences of our reality.
