Alleged Murder of UN Official Ashe | Dallas News

A former UN official, John Ashe, whose death was ruled an accident, may have been murdered in a passport-selling scheme involving Paolo Zampolli, a Trump-appointed envoy. Amanda Ungaro, a former diplomat and model who spent two decades with Zampolli, claims he exploited diplomatic privileges to sell passports—and that Ashe was killed as part of it. Now living in Brazil after being deported, Ungaro says she’s working with the House Oversight Committee and alleges Melania Trump knew about the corruption but did nothing. Her husband also vanished before his trial, which she blames on Zampolli, tied to a child custody dispute. Zampolli denies involvement, though reports suggest he contacted ICE about Ungaro’s status. She describes brutal detention conditions and recounts her globe-trotting childhood as a model. These explosive claims—touching on murder, international graft, and elite connections—are still unverified but have ignited fresh scrutiny.
