The correspondence between the ogre and Eduardo Teodorani Fabbri, son of the lawyer’s sister, dates back to at least 2010, two years after the tycoon’s first conviction. Who, in addition to knowing Exor’s big operations in advance and commenting on girls together, said of him: “He’s one of us.”
Jeffrey Epstein was everywhere. He certainly had a proven and stable association with the highest levels of US political, economic and academic power, but his network also reached Europe, Asia and even Africa (there is talk of links with figures close to the leaders of Senegal and Ivory Coast). For now, outside the USA, heads have rolled in the United Kingdom, where even a royal is under investigation, in France, the United Arab Emirates, Slovakia, Norway and Sweden. There is, however, also an Italian side to the scandal. And, as in all other cases, it leads right to the center of the country’s economic power: the Agnelli-Elkann family, their holding (Exor) and their wealth.
The role of Eduardo Teodorani Fabbri
The central figure is Eduardo Teodorani Fabbrison of Maria Sole Agnelli, sister of the lawyer. Second cousin of John and Lapo Elkann, he was top manager of Exor, Fiat, New Holland and CNH International, but also a great friend of Jeffrey Epstein. In 2010, two years after the first conviction of the Jewish financier, he wrote to Peter Mandelson, eminent protagonist of the Blairite Labor Party, then first secretary of state and now also fallen into disgrace after the publication of the files: «Eduardo Teodorani and Annabelle Nielson (British model who died in 2018, wife for a short period, in the 1990s, of the banker Nathaniel Rothschild, ed.) are here to the ranch with me.” The reference is to the Zorro ranch, an estate bought by Epstein in New Mexico, where it is suspected two girls killed during an extreme sex session may have been buried. When Mandelson asks him for clarification on who he is, the pedophile replies: “Agnelli, Ferrari, Fiat, etc.”
Emails and personal relationships
The correspondence between the two is conspicuous. Teodorani often addresses the pedophile as “master”. “Is Davina pregnant?” asks Epstein on October 1, 2011. “No, and I found out that story was a scam and he’s not my son, so good news. Tomorrow I’ll have lunch with my friend Mark Getty (co-founder of Getty Images), full of pussy», replies Gianni Agnelli’s nephew. Also in 2011, David Stern, a collaborator of Prince Andrew who was very present in the Epstein files, told the financier that he had to meet in Hong Kong the person who was building “the Asian platform for the Agnelli family, acting mainly on behalf of John Elkann (Exor)”. Another email shows, in 2012, an invitation to Teodorani on the island of horrors, Little Saint James. «Eduardo is one of us», the financier wrote to another of his associates, the Emirati Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, in 2013. What he means by «one of us», clearly, is not known. But the Dubai billionaire, who resigned from DP World a few days ago because he was overwhelmed by the scandal, is the one who shared the now well-known “torture video” with Epstein. “I would like to meet him,” replies Ahmed bin Sulayem. “He owns Ferrari,” continues Epstein.
Confidential information on Exor and Ferrari
One of the most controversial messages is from April 19, 2015, when Epstein wrote to a certain Jabor Y., probably Sheikh Jabor Yousuf Jassim Al Thani, a member of the Qatari royal family: «Shabaz could take a look at the details of Exor, the holding company of the Agnelli family, owners of Cushman. They just made a bid for a reinsurance company last week, they will spin off Ferrari this year and still have Fiat Chrysler and Maserati. Most of their money is liquid, about 15 billion or so.” Extremely precise information: on the following 11th May the sale of Cushman & Wakefield was announced, and if Exor’s offer for PartnerRe was actually already known a few days before the email – a sale then closed in August for 6.9 billion – the separation of Ferrari from the FCA group began in October 2015 and ended at the beginning of 2016. In short, the financier knew in advance the moves of the most powerful family in Italy. And it’s not hard to imagine who it was that gave him this information.
Messages and meetings
«Tomorrow, if it’s all right with you, I’ll come and see you around 1pm», writes Teodorani on 22 June 2016. Epstein: «Ok, alone or with something nice?». The reply: “Very pretty, blue eyes.” But the most disturbing message, especially if you think about Epstein’s well-known activities, comes from the following year. On January 18, 2017, Teodorani wrote to him: «Let me know if you come to Europe before February». The fixer replies: «Paris next week. You owe me a child (literally «you own me a bambini», a distortion of Italian similar to what Trump did with Giuseppi). Your friend’s daughter never called me on Skype again.” A term that returns in 2019, a few months before Epstein’s arrest, when Teodorani wrote to him: «Master, we are waiting for the little girl with beautiful ankles with another good friend of your choice!!! Tonight the Peninsula (luxury hotel in New York, ed.) will be our party headquarters!
The case and implications
In summary: not only that Eduardo Teodorani for years she maintained a very close bond with a man convicted of sexual exploitation of minors, but she attended and organized parties with him to which she invited girls, made extensive comments, updated him regarding alleged illegitimate pregnancies, organized meetings (in an email she says she wanted to introduce Pilar Fogliati to him). And, with a pedophile, he talked about boys and girls. In the meantime, the financier, who elsewhere defines Lapo Elkann as a friend, had very detailed information on economic operations conducted by Exor and by John Elkann, head of the family holding company, before they were announced. There’s not much else to add: it’s the Italian side of the Epstein scandal.
