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.
