Nayara Energy appoints Alessandro Des Dorides as chief executive officer

Nayara Energy on Wednesday named Alessandro Des Dorides, the former head of oil trading at Eni who was sacked for withholding information in illegal Iran oil trade, as the new CEO of the company. Des Dorides shall take over from Alois Virag whose term ends on March 31, 2024, a company statement said. In 2019, Italian oil company Eni SPA bought a shipment of oil that was purported to have come from Iraq but actually came from Iran. The act potentially breached the US sanctions and led to Des Dorides, who oversaw the deal for the cargo, being fired.
