A Milan appeals court on
Wednesday acquitted the former CEO of Eni, Paolo Scaroni,
currently president of AC Milan, and the Italian oil company in
a trial focusing on an alleged $197 million kickback for
infrastructure unit Saipem.
All the other defendants were acquitted, including Saipem
managers.
The confiscation of $197 million from Saipem was revoked.
Eni lawyers said "it was an insubstantial theorem that (the
prosecutors) carried forward, and which has now been
dismantled".
Scaroni's lawyer Enrico de Castiglione said "this is the word
'end' to this complicated affair".
