Milan prosecutors do not plan to pursue a case against the head of Italian energy group Eni over oil permits granted in Congo Republic.

The magistrates formally requested the dismissal of a charge against Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi for alleged failure to declare a conflict of interest.

A statement from the prosecutors said that the main alleged crime in the case had been changed from bribery to undue inducement, which will be time-barred on March 18. The crime of failure to declare a conflict of interest is already time-barred. Eni also welcomed the decision, saying that it never believed that Descalzi had failed to give due notification of a conflict of interest.

In March 2021 a judge in a Milan court accepted Eni’s offer of an 11.8 million euro payment to settle the Congo investigation.
