2.7. Dishonesty and fraud sustained at E.S.O.

 

                Here is the text of the ENTIRE CORRESPONDENCE between Mr. Palma and the Representatives of the Italian Government at E.S.O. on end of the year 2002, for reporting them once again and officially the dishonesty and the fraud sustained at the Organisation.

            These letter and Emails are explosive acts of a situation, that would have deserved at least a clear position by the Representatives of the Italian Government against the heavy charges Mr. Palma moved, in defence of the reputation of the Astronomical Institute they sustain.

In fact, should those facts be proved as untrue, that correspondence would have become an instrument to call Mr. Palma before of a National Court for a Public Process for an assumed falsity he was reporting.

            Instead of that, there was only the attempt of an answer by Email by part of only one Representative of Ministry, aimed to discharge his competence and to classify the facts Palma/ESO as expired for any consideration, as well as Criminal Facts of DISHONESTY and FRAUD, on the other hand still in progress by a Tribunal on 2003, would be questions to undergo limits of time, i.e. simply administrative issues instead of what they under any jurisprudence are, i.e. CRIMINAL ISSUES.

            In reality and by Law, the SILENCE AGAINST A CHARGE IS THE ADMISSION OF THE CHARGE ITSELF, i.e. a legal proof of the truth of that charge.  THE READER MAY THEREFORE FIND HEREBY THE PROOF OF REPORTED DISHONESTY AND FRAUD at ESO by following acts, which are now also made public in whole:

Letter of Mr. Palma dated 17.12.2002 to the governmental representatives of Italy at ESO

 

PALMA Dr. FRANCESCO                         17 December 2002

To: Prof. Pacini e Dott. Ugo Sessi

DELEGATES OF ITALIAN GOVERNMENT (Ministero P. Istruzione e Ministero delle Finanze)

RESPECTIVELY AT THE COUCIL and at the FINANCE COMMITTEE

OF THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION ESO (European Southern Observatory)

Karl Schwarzshildstr.2, D-85748 Garching bei München                                   

           

Dear Prof. Pacini, Dear Dr. Sessi,

 

Once again I apply directly to your authorities and bring to your attention that with your attitude, aimed to ignore me and to avoid any your incisive intervention in my case with the ESO since the 1995, YOU ARE SUSTAINING THE DISHONESTY AND THE FRAUD OF THE ESO AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT, OF THE ONES OF ITALY AND OF THE ITALIANS.

 

THE DISHONESTY is evident from the fact that by your silence it remains still honoured in his function at ESO the PROVED DISHONEST FRENCH HEAD OF THE CONTRACTS AND PROCUREMENT!

This man, you know him well, was liable of the relevant mistakes(?) of granting firstly DM  570.949 to a supplier and then to finance the same company, always unduly, with other DM 6.855.282.

Then, he himself provoked my dramatic expulsion from the ESO in five minutes on 28.6.1995 and my dismissal, since I was the only ITALIAN in his Department and simply because I was maintaining as subaltern my moral integrity in above said Procurement Contracts. All that happened, although the doctors had already recognized my grave disability from the work at ESO and despite of the fact that an internal Committee had already recommended an extension of my contract of employment at the Organisation.

            It would be redundant then to talk of the OMISSIONS OF DUTY and DISREGARD OF ANY LAW of the Director General Riccardo Giacconi, of the falsities that ESO has told to the Administrative Tribunal of the ILO of Geneva and of the missed implementation of the written “Assurance” of the former Administrative Director (G. Bachmann, unfortunately passed away), who wrote on 28.7.1995, as an Official Final Decision of the ESO, to act in my favour for the remedy of all the tort I suffered.

ESO never maintained its promise and no action was ever made.

            Then, the failure of WORD of Mr. Block, actual Director of Personnel, who promised before of the Dr. Sessi on 3.11.1999 to find a solution to my case of SEVERE DISABLED PERSON of the ESO, nevertheless left since years with no specific HEALTH INSURANCE:  after three years from that event there are only ESO chatters in merit! 

           

THE FRAUD is evident from the fact that since more than seven years the ESO by its failure of omitting to grant me any health-insurance coverage for my case of Disability of its liability is charging the Italian National Health System (USL) and the ITALIAN GOVERNMENT (Minister of Health) OF RELEVANT FINANCIAL CHARGES OF ASSISTANCE TO DISABLED PEOPLE, WHICH DO NOT LIE ABSOLUTELY UNDER RESPONSIBILITY OF ITALY, since my disabilities, although Italian, had clearly origin under the health insurance system of competence of the ESO, that is under the liability of an International System.

           

Now, should you with your attitude still agree with what I call PURE AGGRAVATING FRAUD OF ESO TO ITALY, well, you should have at least the courage, as representatives of the Italian Government at ESO, to put it in written, in order that I let reimburse me from the Italian Ministry of Health or from Local Health Offices (USL) all medical expenses (in several ten thousands of Euros), caused by my disabilities, which were got under the ESO Insurance System. In a contrary case, handle conformingly.

I remind you that up to now you also ignored my Petition of 8.12.1999, which I submitted to all representatives of Governments of the Nations of ESO (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland), for an investigation on the Criminal Facts I reported.

 

In conclusion, since in my case there is already the interest of some other section of the ITALIAN GOVERNMENT, whereas there could be also the intervention of a well know Italian politician, then before of a possible investigation of the ITALIAN MAGISTRATURE AGAINST YOUR GOVERNMENTAL DEPARTMENTS, I DEMAND ONCE AGAIN TO ASSIST ME AS ITALIAN, IN ORDER THAT I CAN HAVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AN ARBITRATION DIRECTLY BEFORE OF ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE ESO FOR ALL MY QUESTION UNDER DISPUTE SINCE SEVEN YEARS, INCLUSIVE THE ONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL OF THE ILO, that by documented evidence is a TRIBUNAL OF FALSITY, PAID, AS NOTORIOUS AND BY STATUTE OF THE TRIBUNAL ITSELF, ONLY BY ESO AND THEREFORE AIMED TO DO SOLELY THE INTERESTS OF A PARTY AND NOT AT ALL THE ONES OF ITALY (AND OF AN ITALIAN)!

            AS ITALIAN CITIZEN, I APPEAL TO A “LEGITTIMA SUSPICIO” (legal-suspect law) and YOU HAVE ALL THE DUTY TO DEFEND THE NATIONAL INTERESTS, APART THE ONES OF AN ITALIAN!

            For above said reasons, I kindly wait for your official answer to this letter by 31.1.2003.

Yours Faithfully

Palma Francesco

Letter Reply of Mr. Palma to above Email of Prof. Pacini on 20.12.2002
Dear Prof. Pacini,
 

Thanks a lot for your attention and an answer.

   

Please understand, I would have never applied to you, knowing that you are in charge of the scientific part, if all my actions directly made versus the Directors of the ESO, by the ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL OF THE ILO and also by the intervention of the LOCAL STAFF ASSOCIATION (a kind of Unions) THAT PAID INVAIN FOR ME DM 5.000 ON 1995, would have not brought by elapsing of the years to a DRAMATIC EXASPERATION OF THE CASE AND TO POLITICAL-JUDICIAL ASPECTS (DISHONESTY AND FRAUD OF THE ESO, MATTER ON WHICH I ALLOW MYSELF BY RIGHT AND BY PROOF TO INSIST, are infringements of law, which touch the HONOUR OF THE INSTITUTION ESO AND OF ALL PEOPLE THAT WORK INSIDE OF IT. On that, there is no barred time and no oblivion, that can be accepted, even though the scientists of ESO could have washed their hands by a silence-consent to those breaches in the course of the years: their dirty conscience remains).

            On the other hand the tactic of the Directors of the Organisation has been just the one of attempting to shelve all my case while the years went by, just by availing themselves of confused procedures, which are not at all fair and clean for a Justice of the Tribunal of the ILO of Geneva (There is a "Guinness" record in my case of 40 lawsuits against ESO).

   

For that reason I allowed myself to approach you and demand you to help me in an ARBITRATION WITH THE NATIONS OF THE ESO, since they cannot ignore that, IN NAME OF THE SCIENCE AND OF THE ASTRONOMY, THEY ARE SUSTAINING IN REALITY DISHONESTY, FALSITY AND PERSONAL INTERESTS IN THEIR INSTITUTION ESO, moreover BY A TRIBUNAL OF PRESUMED JUSTICE THAT, however and regretfully, WON’T HOLD WATER (Personally and if you like as person of science, I don’t believe that Science and Astronomy are separate matters from a Humanity that shall be nevertheless on their bases and in all the scientists!)  

 

I understand that you do not feel competent and I regret of having applied to you.

By my part and as nice person, I remain with the clean conscience of having brought to your attention again, as Member of ITALY in the GOVERNATIVE COUNCIL OF THE ESO and as famous professor I also esteem and respect, certain facts that you cannot ignore anymore, whatever it might happen to the ESO and to its HISTORY.

 

It remains anyway only my pleasure to have shaken your hand and I wish you again sincerely

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year   

Best Regards

Palma Dott. Francesco
