When RAI asks Paolo Zampolli about his sexual assault allegations, he loses control and starts calling Sacha Biazzo nonstop, warning him that he has contacted the U.S. State Department and the Italian embassy in Washington. He rants: "About Amanda Ungaro you can say all the bullshit you want. No problem. But about Vittoria Drake: I am suing RAI and I am suing everyone. Trust me. Put this one in… and the lawsuit starts immediately. Actually put her in, because that one has to pay. Because I never touched her. That whore…" He uses the word “puttana,” which is the most common translation for "whore" in Italian. He tells Sacha he has sent the videos shot by his collaborators during their meeting straight to the State Department where he works. He even alerted the Italian Embassy in Washington. He then threatens to use the full machinery of the American administration against Victoria Drake, who accuses him of sexual violence, exactly as it is claimed he already did with his ex-girlfriend.

Prima di diventare inviato speciale di Trump, Zampolli è stato a capo di un'organizzazione collegate alle Nazioni Unite, "We Are The Oceans". Ma l'organizzazione sarà lo strumento con cui verrà realizzata la più grande truffa a danni dell'ONU👇 bit.ly/RAI3diretta

Un servizio preciso, intenso, per tanti versi sorprendenti. @essebbi è una garanzia, del resto #report
Per gli americani la mafia non viene più percepita come un pericolo. Molti analisti considerano il fenomeno archiviato. Ma chi con i boss mafiosi ci ha a che fare tutti i giorni non è così convinto. Segui #Report ora in diretta su #Rai3👇 bit.ly/RAI3diretta
