Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, August 29, 2026 — An ex-Brazilian model has come forward with allegations implicating Paolo Zampolli, a special envoy associated with former President Donald Trump, in a scheme involving the United Nations passport sales. The model, identified as Amanda Ungaro, claims this alleged scheme was connected to the death of former UN President John Ashe.

Ungaro, who reportedly shared a long-term relationship with Zampolli, stated that she presented evidence related to the alleged passport-selling operation to members of Congress. These assertions were made public following an interview conducted from Brazil.

The surfacing of these allegations follows Ungaro’s recent arrest and subsequent deportation from South Florida. The specific details regarding the evidence presented to Congress, the timeline of the alleged scheme, or the exact nature of Zampolli’s alleged involvement were not provided in the initial summary.

Similarly, the summary did not specify how the alleged passport-selling scheme led to the death of John Ashe, the former UN President. Official reports concerning Ashe’s death were not detailed in the provided information. The contractor’s name, if applicable, was also not provided. The fine amounts, permit status, or inspection outcomes related to any entities involved were not disclosed.

The allegations by Ungaro represent serious claims that place a former UN official and an envoy connected to a U.S. presidential administration at the center of an alleged illicit operation. Further details regarding the evidence, the scope of the alleged scheme, and the individuals involved are expected to emerge as these claims are investigated.
