"The final triumph of truth & consistency over falsehood, fraud, mega corruption & persecution. The fabricated cyberstalking charge was struck out today.
Thanks for the supports: Global Witness, Heda Resource Centre, ReCommon, Osiwa and MacArthur Foundation".
The facts described (and the documents, incorporated in dozens of web links), are full proof that ENI is not only responsible for unjustly denigrating my name, my honor, and my reputation during all these years, but it is also responsible for destroying my professional career and taking my retirement out of my hands. As if that were not enough, ENI is not fulfilling the commitments assumed to its Stakeholders through its own policies and codes, declarations, norms, and procedures, as well as the international pacts, conventions, principles, and guidelines accepted and followed by ENI, including, the Italian government, the company's controlling shareholder, who appears in many of these international commitments, as an adherent, signatory or ratifying party, including United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
In these more than 20 years, ENI has never carried out a “due diligence” on my case in light of the commitments mentioned here, even though it had asked me for a “proposal for amicable settlement” — in November 2020, through the Italian Ambassador in Brazil — and never having responded to this proposal, not even after being questioned by a critical shareholder during the company's Shareholders' Meeting, held in Rome, in May 2021.
In this document mentioned here, you will know my expectations, not only regarding ENI itself, but also regarding international institutions and other Stakeholders, including the Italian government, the company's controlling shareholder. And that's because, even with the best practices, a company can cause or contribute to causing negative and harmful consequences that it did not foresee or was unable to avoid.
Even with the various non-conformities of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, ENI gave up the "good offices" offered by NCP Brazil.
In my case, the Italian oil giant continues to fail to comply with its own commitments (codes and policies, declarations, norms and procedures) as well as international commitments accepted and followed by the company.
My fight will continue!
“… it kills them when I do interviews, it kills them when I testify in court, it kills them when I speak to law students, or make speeches to the European Parliament as I did recently.” Also, the corporation’s objective is to punish the individual who dared oppose it and in such a way deter other lawyers from doing the same"

"The situation becomes particularly serious where corporations irresponsibly decide to use their unlimited resources to distort justice targeting individuals that try to counter their unethical or illegal conducts such as whistleblowers, leakers, human rights activists, and even lawyers"
"Such unethical actions also generate a deterrent effect in that they aim at discouraging other individuals from safeguarding society and interfering with corporate activities. Corporations abuse the legal system to “punish” individuals that have become persona non grata within the corporate world. This irrespective of what it could be the final outcome of the judicial proceeding. The aim here is not to win the court cases but to use the proceedings themselves to inflict an exemplary punishment on the individuals that are forced to participate in them to defend themselves from the instrumentally conceived charges"
