Corruption charges

Descalzi and other Eni executive leadership have faced legal charges for corruption involving $1.1 billion,[27][28] based on the company's operations in Nigeria[29][30][31] and the Republic of the Congo.[32]

In December 2016, Milan prosecutor's office closed the Eni / Nigeria investigation of international corruption by putting under investigation eleven suspects, including the CEO of Eni, Claudio Descalzi. On March 17, 2021, the Milan Court acquitted all the defendants involved in the investigation as there was no case to answer. [33] Nigerian government stated that it is "disappointed" by the Milan court's ruling and "will continue to hold those responsible for the OPL 245 fraud accountable."[34] On July 19, 2022, the Attorney General waived the appeal before the Second Section of the Court of Appeal of Milan, making the acquittal sentences pronounced in March 2021 definitive.[35] On October 8, 2024, the Court of Brescia sentenced prosecutors Fabio De Pasquale and Sergio Spadaro to 8 months in prison in the Eni-Nigeria trial, on the grounds that they had omitted evidence favorable to the defendants, including Claudio Descalzi.[36]
