What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles.

When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal empire, there is no doubt that it stretched

around the globe and some of those locations are a lot more well known than others.

And one of the areas where Jeffrey Epstein and his buddy Jean-Luc Brunel were most active

is down in Central and South America.

And now we have girls coming out from Brazil and other areas talking about what they went

through.

When they were recruited by Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal empire, and when it comes

to South America and Central America, I think there's a whole last story that still

hasn't been uncovered.

And I think a lot of the women from this area are going to start coming forward and talking

about what happened.

And in this article in fact, we're going to hear from an Epstein survivor, a woman named

Amanda Ungaro, who says that she saw miners sitting on Jeffrey Epstein's lap and alleges

that a modeling agent tried to place drugs in her bag on a 2002 flight from Paris to New

York.

This article was published by O. Globo and the headline, Brazilian X model describes Epstein

flight.

There were about 30 girls, beautiful and very young.

This article was authored by Natasha Robero.

Natasha Ungaro was 17 when she boarded Jeffrey Epstein's private jet known as Lolita Express

on a flight from Paris to New York in June of 2002.

At the time, the financiers' crimes were not yet public, and the first accusations would

emerge in 2005, incorrect.

Remember the first accusations came from Maria Farmer in 1996.

Now those accusations were not public at the time, so that much is true.

But we have to make sure that we keep the record straight.

There is so much going on here, there's so much to keep in line, so much to keep in order.

That we have to make sure that even the little facts are lined up, right?

We'll leave the bullshitting and the nonsense.

To people like Candice Owens and Ian Carroll in an interview with O. Globo, the former

model described scenes aboard the aircraft that she said reflected the vulnerability of

very young girls, many of them between 14 and 16.

And remember the deposition that we went through from Mrs. Vazquez, where she was talking

about all these girls from Central and South America that were being brought through

MC squared and then being abused in places like New York.

This all leads right back to that, right?

And it corroborates what she was saying.

There were about 30 girls on the plane.

I found it very strange.

On Garo had said, they looked more like students than models, beautiful and very young.

But not with the model profile, well that's because they weren't models.

What Bruno would do is he'd go through the countryside and places like Brazil, little

villages, whatever, and then offer these girls and their parents a whole bunch of money.

Hey, let your daughter come to America, become a model, and you guys are going to be rich.

But the reality is a lot of these girls will come to America and they never got any modeling

opportunities.

Instead, they were abused, they were kept hostage basically, and they were left at

the mercy of Jeffrey Epstein and Jean-Luc Bruno.

And I think evidence like this just goes directly to that point and I think considering all

the circumstantial evidence that we have, it's rather obvious what was going on when

it comes to Epstein and South America.

On Garo, now 41, spoke to O. Globo after returning to Brazil following her deportation from

the United States, where she had lived from 2002 to 2025.

Originally from Laundrina in southern Brazil, she accused the father of her son, Italian

businessman, Paulo Zampoli, of using his influence in Washington to trigger her arrest

by U.S. immigration authorities amid an ongoing custody dispute over their 15-year-old

son.

Well, isn't that name familiar?

Isn't that the man that people have said, hooked up Melania and Donald Trump?

Funny that his name's involved here too, huh?

I know, though, I know, just another coincidence, right?

Zampoli, who was in a nearly two-decade relationship with Angaro, currently serves as special

envoy for global partnerships in the Trump administration and is a long-time associate

of Donald Trump, and his name appears dozens of times in documents related to the Epstein

case released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

He founded the modeling agency ID Models, which Epstein frequently visited in New York and

the two attempted to acquire elite model management in 2004.

Imagine having all these Epstein and Jason people in your administration if you were the

president of the United States.

That sounds like something out of like a movie, right, or a book.

But unfortunately, that shit's reality.

And when Thomas Massey talks about this being the Epstein administration, that's what he

means.

There's so many people that were adjacent to Epstein, so many people that were in business

with Epstein that are now part of this administration, that it's apt.

And it's certainly a fitting title.

Angaro boarded Epstein's plane accompanied by her then-agent French modeling scout Jean-Luc

Brunel.

She had recently changed representation in France, leaving Ford models, designed with

Karen models in Paris.

Brunel, she said, invited her onto the jet, telling her they would be traveling at the

invitation of a friend and his wife.

In New York, the final destination, Angaro was scheduled to attend her first casting in

the United States.

I was scared when I saw all those girls I thought were am I, she recalled.

Her discomfort did not go unnoticed.

Brunel, who, according to Justice Department Files, acted as a recruiter for Epstein,

sought to reassure and letter to the owner of the plane.

Let me introduce you to Jeffrey Epstein, he said, talk about being led to the belly of

the beast, huh?

Instead of dumb and dumber, Brunel and Epstein were scummy and scummy-er.

I mean, these two dudes together were an absolute nightmare, and the fact that Brunel

was allowed to get away with that bullshit for as long as he did is unbelievable to me.

So many people came out and talked about Jean-Luc Brunel and the kind of piece of shitty

he was for years, and nobody did shit about it.

In fact, over there in France, they just ignored it all, but there were plenty of people

who had a lot to say about what Jean-Luc Brunel was up to.

Epstein approached Angaro, asked her her age, and where she was from.

Soon after, Glein Maxwell, his longtime associate, you mean co-conspirator, right?

Fellow child abuser and bipedal serpent, Maxwell joined the interaction.

When told Angaro was Brazilian, Maxwell reacted enthusiastically.

Oh, how nice that you're from Brazil.

Oh, I bet.

I bet Maxwell acted like that.

We all know that Maxwell has never met a vulnerable girl or woman

that she didn't want to abuse.

Angaro said that she kept to herself throughout the flight

and did not interact with other passengers.

Still, she noticed that many of the girls appeared familiar with Epstein.

I'm sure they did.

Unfortunately, that was the whole point.

And they're not even talking about it yet, but it's going to come out eventually

that these girls were being sent Epstein's house to live with them.

We're talking about 14, 15, 16 year old girls at the townhouse on a rotating basis,

being brought in through the pipeline that was set up by Jean-Luc Bernel.

And these girls were being brought to Epstein's mansion,

the townhouse for him to do with as he pleases.

And all of that stuff is going to come out eventually.

And I think with the drip we're seeing here, it won't be long.

Some of them sat on his lap, stayed close, playing around, she said,

adding that Maxwell also seemed at ease.

It felt like they already knew each other.

It didn't seem like a group of strangers meeting for the first time.

Those people hadn't just met, like I had.

At one point, she said that Epstein and Maxwell went to the back of the plain,

accompanied by some of the girls.

She didn't see them again, for the remainder of the flight.

Well, I wonder why.

I wonder why she didn't see them.

What do you think they were doing back there?

Talking about cabbage-patched kids?

Maybe talking about the latest Pokemon cards?

We know those sick degenerate bastards were doing back there.

The unease persisted.

On Garo said that she asked Brunel who the girls were and who the man

who had introduced himself as the jet owner was.

He said that it was just a friend and that the girls were models.

She said, I was 17 and shy.

If it were today, I would question everything.

But at the time, I didn't.

I didn't even know who Jeffrey Epstein was.

And you know what, we can't expect a 17-year-old girl from Brazil to know the deal, right?

All these other adults out around the pilots,

Epstein's assistants, Epstein's friends, they all know better.

So they should have stepped up.

When the plane landed in the United States,

on Garo and Brunel were among the first to get off.

But before that, she said she experienced another disturbing episode.

Seated across from her on a sofa, separated by a small table,

Brunel tossed what appeared to be a small object order,

a package wrapped and transparent plastic.

Put this in your bag, he told her.

On Garo said she asked what it was, Brunel insisted.

When she refused again, he threw the package toward her once more.

His persistence, she said, made her suspect what it was.

I realized right away that it was probably drug, she said, and I said no way, not in my bag.

And that is pretty interesting considering the DEA investigation that we know has been shelved,

so was Brunel and his associates bringing drugs in as well, very possible, very, very possible.

All I wanted was to get off that plane.

On Garo said, I didn't feel comfortable, I knew something was wrong.

I just didn't know what, at the time, it never crossed my mind that it could have involved abuse.

For years, Jeffrey Epstein was seen as a well-connected finance here,

who catered to billionaire clients and moved among politicians and celebrities.

That image began to unravel in 2006, when he was accused of sexually abusing miners in

Palm Beach, Florida. Despite multiple allegations, he was initially charged with a lesser

offense of soliciting prostitution, a decision that drew criticism and led the FBI to open the

federal investigation. At that time, of on Garo's flight in 2002, however,

none of those allegations had yet surfaced. So look, it's just another story to add to the pile.

And when you add all this evidence up and you look at it closely, there is zero doubt

that Jeffrey Epstein and his network were super active down in South and Central America.

And considering all that, the only question left is just how far did the abuse go?
