ENI hired the services of Italian company Equalize.
Documents show that Eni paid Equalize €377,000.
On paper, Equalize provides services like business intelligence and reputation management.
Equalize has been accused of stealing and selling tax data and police information on Italian politicians and businessmen, among others, to its customers.
Equalize employee Gallo told the authorities that ENI hired the company to prove that a Nigerian witness had been bribed. Calamucci also said that ENI had asked Equalize to prove that witnesses were corrupt.
Equalize illegally gained documents showing that the authorities influenced witnesses in the corruption case.
