The Flinto Case: Eni's AGM

If this had been merely a dispute between a former employee and a company, this story would probably have ended many years ago.

But the opposite happened.

Over the past 25 years, the Flinto Case has gone far beyond an individual dispute.

It reached the highest governing body of Eni.

The Flinto Case was brought four times before the Company's General Shareholders' Meetings (AGM).

🔹 2017

🔹 2018

🔹 2020

🔹 2021

On each of these occasions, shareholders requested clarification regarding the facts, the documents submitted, the absence of an independent investigation, and the amicable settlement proposal I presented at Eni's own request through the Italian Ambassador to Brazil, which was never answered.

Those questions were no longer mine alone.

They became part of the Company's corporate governance debate.

Very few cases remain on the agenda of a global company's General Shareholders' Meetings for so many years.

And that leads to a new question:

📌 What led a critical shareholder to insist on this matter for so many years?

Tomorrow, we will learn the story of the journalist and critical shareholder who decided to bring the Flinto Case before Eni's General Shareholders' Meetings and formally raise questions that the Company has never answered with documentary evidence.

To be continued on Wednesday.
