Letter to the CEO of Eni's Brazilian subsidiary

In the previous publication, we saw that the report of the irregularities came before my dismissal.

Today, the chronology reveals another equally important fact.

Just two days after my dismissal from AGIP do Brasil (on August 3, 2001), I sent a formal letter to the Company's CEO challenging the facts that had led to my dismissal - following the guidance of the Human Resources Director.

At that moment, I still believed that everything could be clarified internally through an impartial review of the facts.

At that time, there were no lawsuits.

There were no public disputes.

There was no public exposure of the case.

There was only a former employee seeking to understand the reasons for his dismissal and believing that they could be reconsidered in light of the facts.
This letter occupies an important place in the chronology because it demonstrates that my account of the events was not developed years later.

It was presented immediately, while the events were still unfolding.

More than challenging the decision itself, the letter requested that the Company carefully review the events that had preceded my dismissal.

The objective was simple.

To allow the Company itself to reassess the facts before a decision based on incorrect information produced permanent consequences.

Unfortunately, this would not be the last time I brought this documentation to the attention of the Company's senior management.

Over the following years, new communications would be submitted to Eni's Board of Directors, always accompanied by documents intended to provide an objective reconstruction of the events.

Once again, the purpose of this publication is not to persuade anyone.

It is simply to demonstrate, through the chronology and the documentary evidence, that my challenge to the Company's decision began immediately after the events that gave rise to the Flinto Case.

Because, from this point forward, the documents will continue to speak for themselves.

To be continued on Thursday.
