Sleuth Report: Skeletons in the Diplomatic Closet

Newly Released Emails Reveal Connections Between Paolo Zampolli, Ghislaine Maxwell, United Nations Figures, and the Wider Epstein Network

A newly published investigation by Bekah Day examines a collection of emails allegedly recovered from the archived accounts of Amanda Ungaro, the former partner of Paolo Zampolli. According to the report, the emails reveal communications involving Zampolli, Ghislaine Maxwell, United Nations officials, diplomats, and business associates connected to individuals who have appeared throughout the broader Epstein network.

The article focuses primarily on communications from 2012 through 2019 and raises questions about the overlap between diplomatic circles, modeling agencies, international organizations, and individuals linked to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.


Overview

According to the investigation, Amanda Ungaro recently regained access to archived email accounts containing communications involving Paolo Zampolli and numerous political, diplomatic, and business figures.

Zampolli is best known as the founder of ID Models, a longtime associate of Donald Trump, and a diplomat who has held several positions connected to the United Nations and the government of Dominica. The article highlights communications that allegedly demonstrate Zampolli’s interactions with Ghislaine Maxwell and other influential figures during the years following Epstein’s first criminal case.

The report stresses that the existence of communications does not establish criminal conduct and that many individuals discussed have never been charged with wrongdoing.


Ghislaine Maxwell and the TerraMar Connection

One of the most significant findings presented involves email communications between Ghislaine Maxwell and Paolo Zampolli concerning the TerraMar Project.

The TerraMar Project was founded by Maxwell in 2012 and promoted international ocean conservation initiatives. According to the emails cited in the report, Maxwell shared information about TerraMar with Zampolli, who then forwarded the materials to diplomatic contacts including Yuvan Beejadhur and Angus Friday.

The article argues that these communications establish an early relationship between Zampolli and Maxwell and directly contradict later public statements in which Zampolli reportedly denied knowing or communicating with Maxwell.


United Nations Access and Diplomatic Networks

A major focus of the investigation is the role Zampolli allegedly played in introducing models, associates, and business contacts into United Nations related events and initiatives.

The article documents communications involving diplomats, UN officials, environmental organizations, and international representatives connected to ocean policy initiatives such as TerraMar, WATO, and various Global Partnership forums.

Researchers argue that these communications demonstrate how figures from the modeling industry, political circles, and diplomatic organizations frequently interacted within the same professional networks.


Questions Surrounding Passport Discussions

Among the communications highlighted are references to obtaining passports through diplomatic channels.

The article alleges that one exchange contains discussion of acquiring passports from multiple countries. Bekah Day cites these communications as potentially corroborating claims previously made by Amanda Ungaro regarding Zampolli’s international connections and diplomatic influence.

At this time, no public criminal charges have been announced regarding these allegations.


Connections to Trump World

The investigation also examines communications involving individuals connected to Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.

One example involves communications with Rhona Graff Riccio, Trump’s longtime executive assistant. According to the report, Zampolli discussed a potential Trump branded development project in Antigua and referenced Trump’s possible interest in the country’s citizenship by investment program.

The article notes that Zampolli has maintained relationships with Trump for decades and remains a prominent figure within diplomatic and business circles connected to both administrations.


Why This Investigation Matters

The significance of these emails extends beyond any single individual.

Researchers continue examining how Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cultivated relationships with diplomats, political figures, business leaders, and international organizations.

The communications published in this investigation provide additional context regarding the networks surrounding Maxwell after Epstein’s 2008 conviction and before his 2019 arrest. They also raise questions about how influential individuals gained access to international organizations and diplomatic circles.

As additional emails are reviewed and authenticated, they may provide further insight into relationships that have remained largely unexplored in public reporting.
