Well.. well.. what have we got here?

A new article on Nicole Jun-k-er-mann

[trying not to alert the NJF bots too soon🤫👆]

aqa-capital.com/news/posts/nic…

Simone Filippetti journalist of Il Sole 24 Ore writes another flattering piece on Contessa Brachetti Peretti forgetting inconvenient little details like her connections to Jeffrey Epstein and high level contacts in the German government..

While some people - like @JohnnyVedmore - thought that Nicole had skipped town ages ago it seems that she has been ensconced within her elegant Victorian mansion corner of The Boltons - at least according to Simone Filippetti

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bolto…

According to Filippetti , Junk-er-mann earned her hundreds of millions on her own due to her superpower as a tech disruptor and investor..

" Her investment company is a “white fly” in the world of finance: she has no investors at all. Ms Junkermann didn't go knocking on the doors of friends nor did she go to the market, asking for capital. She only invests her own money." 👀

"But even if she had shareholders to be accountable to, they would have been extremely happy: the average return of the fund has been 47% in the past years." 🍿🤡

🍿🍿

" in the past 4 years she has been the wife of Count Brachetti Peretti: in 2017 she married Ferdinando Maria, heir to the noble Roman family and industrial dynasty. He and his brother run IP-API oil empire, Italian biggest refinery and gas stations chain"

" The company was founded by his maternal grandfather Ferdinando Peretti "

In case you missed it

Will expand on this later

"It was probably destiny that the lady and the “Belpaese” crossed their paths: her first investment as a budding entrepreneur-financier was exactly in Italy, 20 years ago. After the internet bubble and the dotcom boom, broadcaster Kirch Media, the tv empire created by

tycoon Leo Kirch, goes bust in Germany. The group is torn apart and a very young Nicole, fresh from a master's degree at Harvard, sniffs out the deal: together with other partners from the Kirch galaxy take over the Swiss sports TV rights company Infront

🧐

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirch_Gro…
By 2000,KirchGruppe (KirchGroup) controlled a 52.5 percent stake in what would become Germany's biggest broadcaster

Al Waleed bin Talal bought 3.19 percent of KirchMedia in 1999, and 3.3 percent of KirchPayTV for $150 million

KirchMedia declared bankruptcy on 8 April 2002

2002?

So wait, in 2002 , when Junkermann was working with Jeffrey Epstein, she and other investors were involved with the Kirch Media insolvency case?

And flew to Foxcote in the English countryside in August of that year to meet with 2 unnamed US senators?

I think we need to go through this 2011 FT article:
archive.is/aPm3d

"The Qatar Investment Authority is among a handful of bidders for Infront Sports & Media, the Swiss agency that sells media rights for 7 national football federations and the skiing world cup events..

".. Andreas Jacobs, heir of the eponymous coffee and chocolate dynasty, owns a 59.8 per cent stake in the sporting rights agency, while Monaco-based Nicole Junkermann controls a 40 per cent stake via her United in Sports private equity fund. ..

From 1991, Andreas Jacobs worked three years as a consultant and project manager at The Boston Consulting Group in Munich

[I'll tell y'all later who deleted their tweet👇]

"Ms Junkermann is not seen as keen to sell but could use the proceeds to pay back cash to her investors including Russian-born US investor Len Blavatnik "

WAIT , WHAT??

But wasn't Blavatnik in business with Harvey Weinstein

who was a major shareholder in...

ASMALLWORLD - linked to Sollis Health , Northwell and Illumina

Ask the mayor of New York Andrew Cuomo, former British Prime Minister David Cameron and current British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, about that

But let's check back in with the Junkermann story

"Nicole Junkermann apparently got her start in the French company Winamax, a football simulation game and online gambling platform, which she is reported to have co-founded in 1998 with former Havis executive Max Derhy.."

"The company incorporation papers show that Winamax was set up through a typical anonymous shell company structure, with the founding companies being BVI Shell companies with nominee directors (A1 Company Services), where the beneficial owners are hidden"

"The shell companies behind Winamax have registered tens of thousands of companies
, many of which have been linked to organised crime, dictators and money launderers. Funnily enough, the same shell companies that created Winamax also created Pompolo Ltd,

which was the shell company used by Trump's ex-campaign manager Paul Manafort and deputy Rick Gates

🤔👇

"It appears Nicole Junkermann was in a relationship with Louis-Dreyfus for more than 6 years. After Winamax, Nicole Junkermann's next venture was Infront Sports and Media... InFront was actually created when Robert Louis-Dreyfus purchased KirchSportAG.

So that is two companies that Louis-Dreyfus financed and founded that have Nicole Junkermann listed as a co-founder - and yet it's not clear at all what she actually did. From the surface it appears she was being provided a foundation or narrative to start her finance career..

"Robert Louis Dreyfus is from a wealthy family. He is the grandson of Léopold Louis-Dreyfus, founder of the Louis-Dreyfus Group. He spent his early years in Israel, then studied at Harvard and was mentored by Siegmund George Warburg, from the famed English banking family"

[I will have to explain the significance of this later]
👇

[and this👇]

"At the same time that Louis Dreyfus founded InFront with Junkermann as a silent partner (and they were still in a relationship) Junkermann was actually engaged
to marry Patrick Graf Von Faber-Castell. He was actually one of the co-founders of the Junkermann Group

Faber-Castell was also from a prominent European banking family that owned Sal. Oppenheim Jr & Cie.

Another interesting part of this story is who Robert Louis-Dreyfus was married to at the time of his affair with Junkermann. Her name was Margarita Bogdanova
, born in St Petersburg in 1962. The strange thing is, her official history has many reported inconsistencies,

which has caused some journalists to look more deeply into her background. ..

🤔

At the age of 17 Margarita went to work for a few years in an accounting center attached to Leningrad City Hall. This was the same institution that Putin worked for. And like Putin, she also studied languages, including German...

Margarita's friend was German-speaking and worked as a guide for InTourist, the only travel agency allowed in Russia to supervise foreign visitors. It's widely known that InTourist was primarily used by the KGB as a source of intelligence. ..

🤔

Russian spy Anna Chapman worked at NetJets

🤔

[Gonna have to expand on this🧵🍿 later👇]

[and this 👇]

"The story is Margarita then met a Swiss student, they fell in love and she managed to gain exit permission to leave the Soviet Union and moved to Switzerland. She is barely 20 years old. She is then hired by the company Layton AG, founded in Geneva in 1977

but whose offices were transferred to Zollikon, near Zurich, in 1986. At the time Layton AG only works on the export of electronic equipment and components to the USSR and the German Democratic Republic. After a year of marriage, she divorces. She supposedly lives a very modest

life, but according to her biographer, fate intervened. She apparently saved all her money for 2 years in order to buy a First Class ticket on the Concorde - Zurich-Paris-New York. And amazingly, on that flight she ended up being seated next to Robert Louis-Dreyfus,

heir to the very secretive Louis Dreyfus empire which rules over world markets as strategic as cotton, soybeans, rice and wheat. 4 years later they are married. In the late 1990's Robert Louis Dreyfus started an affair with Nicole Junkermann. Then in 2009, Louis Dreyfus dies

from leukemia and Margarita Louis-Dreyfus takes over the company. Then a battle begins, specifically with Jacques Veyrat, the leader that her husband had chosen to take over the firm. A battle ensues and she manages to get Veyrat removed. How did she manage that?

"According to reports, Antoine Frérot, CEO of Veolia Environnement, assumed a role of “protector”
within Robert Louis Dreyfus' family holding company, Akira. David de Rothschild also became a close advisor
after the death of her husband.

🧵👇👇👇

Antoine Frérot was appointed alongside David de Rothschild - the chairman of the Rothschild investment bank - to replace Jacques Veyrat - the chairman of Louis Dreyfus - & Erik Maris -at the time director General of Lazard France &since then a partner at Messier Maris & Associés

Margarita Louis-Dreyfus is now married to Philipp Hildebrand , former chairman of the Swiss National Bank and Vice Chairman of BlackRock

She also has recently sold a 45% stake in the Louis Dreyfus Company to the company of the President of the UAE, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan - via Abu Dhabi’s ADQ

Credit Suisse Group advised Louis Dreyfus on the transaction and Rothschild advised ADQ. In 2019 she borrowed $1 billion from Credit Suisse to finance buying out other family members. Credit Suisse has a long history of connections to Intelligence."
