The art of the Olympic deal in the oligarchy: everything they want

The man who once introduced his model Melania Knavs to Donald Trump is now Trump's 'Special Envoy for Global Partnerships' with growing influence in the Olympic world. His current partner holds positions in three Olympic federations, while the mother of his son was deported by ICE.

This story has everything, if you read a little deeper. It's addictive. The sick orange Nazi from the White House appears in it, along with heavily corrupt sports officials, the Gaza Riviera, numerous heads of state, sheikhs, presidents, ministers and bosses of global corporations, Peter Thiel, several members of Trump's Board of Peace, Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Express, more and more international Olympic federations and umbrella organisations, the gangs of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and their deportations, all kinds of ambassadors and island states, libertarians and despots from all corners of the globe, the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games in the USA, the trade in humans and weapons and everything else that generates huge profits, the mafia, secret services, Silvio Berlusconi, the Trump Kennedy Center, Putin's troops, the United Nations, some of the richest and probably most dangerous people on earth – the masters of the universe. Step inside this panopticon that spreads fear and terror, destroys the world order and considers itself the God-given elite of the planet.

This introduction is justified, as you will soon see. In this story about vampires of all kinds, everything is interwoven. Various life circumstances of the very finest.

The King of Soccer cannot be left out.

It is time to connect the dubious figure of Paolo Zampolli, 55, Trump's Special Envoy for Global Partnerships, the deal maker who has unjustly remained largely under the media radar, with the Olympic business. Zampolli, who grew up in the Olympic city of Milan, has long been involved in this world, together with his partner Ana Irene Delgado, 43, Panama's ambassador to the Organisation of American States (OAS) in Washington.

Let's do it this way: Today, I'll give you a few basics to get you started. Although many people with excellent Olympic connections are reading this, including most IOC members and federation presidents, many of whom are also politically active in high positions, not everyone can follow everything. Some will be hearing about this for the first time, others will already know more... You have my contact details. Send me your information, as always: let's get smarter together.

So let's take a closer look and see that the long-established coronation of the Qatari Emir's brother, Joaan Bin Hamad Al Thani, as president of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) on Monday was not the most important and interesting detail of the OCA General Assembly in Tashkent – but something else: the appearances of Zampolli and Delgado and their new roles.

Ana Irene Delgado, who served as vice-president of the Fédération Internationale d'Escrime (FIE) by the grace of Alisher Usmanov until the end of 2024, has since served as vice-president of the Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM), taken on an ambassadorial role for the FIE for Los Angeles 2028, and continues to work closely with the sinister Russian-Uzbek-Mexican string-puller Vitaly Logvin...

Usmanov’s important confidant in fencing, feared by many: Vitaly Logvin, a Soviet-Uzbek-Mexican string-puller
He is the oligarch’s all-purpose weapon in the Fédération Internationale d’Escrime (FIE). His CV is at least as interesting and controversial as his reputation. You must get to know Vitaly Logvin Grechuhin, shortly before FIE’s election congress in his and Alisher Usmanov’s hometown of Tashkent.
THE INQUISITORJens Weinreich
Madness has a name: FIE
At the FIE congress in Manama on Saturday, a Mexican fencing federation (FME) is to be expelled and replaced by another so-called Mexican federation (ADNEM). Everything has been prepared well in advance. This is no small matter – the trail leads to Uzbekistan in the Russian hemisphere.

Ana Irene Delgado, this busy multi-ambassador, politician, lawyer and entrepreneur, has taken on another role in Tashkent:

Hungarian-Kuwaiti Husain Al-Musallam – director general of the Olympic Council of Asia, president of the most medal-winning Olympic federation World Aquatics and one of the most corrupt sports leaders on the planet – appointed Delgado as advisor to the president at a board meeting of his federation. As his personal advisor.

There are high-ranking officials at World Aquatics who say they have never heard the names Delgado and Zampolli and do not know why Al-Musallam hired the Panamanian lady.
