Episode 3 – The International Terrorism Lead
In this new installment of Vatican Affaire, we uncover the most controversial and politically charged theory behind the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi. From Cold War tensions to extremist groups linked to Ali Ağca, the case becomes a maze of phone calls, threats, and international blackmail. Newly opened Vatican and Italian investigations shed light on long-hidden documents and conflicting intelligence. Was Emanuela’s kidnapping part of a global strategy—or a manipulated narrative built to mislead investigators?
Join us as we dissect the clues, the claims, and the shadow players behind the “international terrorism” lead.

Episode 2 - The Abduction
Relentless phone calls flood both the Orlandi household and the Vatican’s secretariat.
Amid hoaxers and deliberate misdirection, one voice stands out — that of a man with an English accent: The American. He claims to be Emanuela Orlandi’s kidnapper and demands a prisoner exchange with the terrorist Ali Ağca.
But he won’t be the only one to claim responsibility for the girl’s abduction... The shadow of international terrorism looms over the Orlandi case, and the first to be convinced of it is Pope John Paul II himself. Between the Grey Wolves, the Turkesh Front, and organized crime, the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi begins to intertwine with the history of the 1980s.
