In the shadowy world of espionage and political intrigue, where power and deception intertwine, a startling tale unfolds – one that has been hidden for decades. This is the story of Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino, a woman born in the midst of Nazi Germany’s chaos, who rose from obscurity to become a key figure within one of the most influential political dynasties in India. But beneath the surface of her carefully crafted public persona lies a shocking reality: she was not just a political figure, but an agent of Pakistan’s ISI, planted deep within the heart of India’s political landscape. As this revelation comes to light, it challenges everything we thought we knew about the Gandhi dynasty, exposing a web of lies, espionage, and international intrigue that has remained concealed for far too long.
Welcome to the untold secrets of a waitress, mistress, and escort turned agent of the Pakistani spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), who was planted decades ago within India’s powerful political dynasty. Since we began exposing the dark secrets of the enigmatic members of the Gandhi dynasty on August 17, 2024, the online edition of this newspaper has faced repeated sabotage attempts, including DDoS attacks. These incidents indicate that certain notorious elements are desperately trying to bury the truth with their nefarious acts. Additionally, various YouTube channels and samestream media outlets -referred to as “mainstream media” in this age of modern technology – are facing shadow bans, likely orchestrated by the same nexus of culprits who want to suppress the truth.
Those attempting to silence BLiTZ or sabotage our website should know that during our 21 years of publication, our newspaper has witnessed similar hostility whenever we published sensational stories with shocking revelations. These include our exposé on the secret romance between Hina Rabbani Khar and Bilawal Bhutto, the activities of gangsters, money launderers, Islamists, jihadists, and smugglers in Dubai, and the combined efforts of the US, UK, and EU to defame Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Hindus. We have also published numerous exclusive reports on high-profile crimes and corruption.
For 21 years, BLiTZ has fearlessly pursued the truth, exposing corruption, jihadist notoriety espionage, and high-profile crimes, despite facing relentless attempts to silence its voice. This story is a testament to that enduring commitment, serving as a stark reminder that the forces of deception and espionage operate even in the most unexpected places. As these secrets come to light, the consequences will reverberate through the corridors of power for years to come, underscoring the vital role of investigative journalism in defending the truth.
The mysterious Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino
Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino is the daughter of a Nazi soldier named Stefano Eugene Maino and a masseuse named Paula Maino, who provided services exclusively to Nazi soldiers. Maino’s supposed father, Stefano Eugene Maino, was arrested near St. Petersburg in Russia for being a Nazi collaborator and was imprisoned for 20 years. Later, he became a member of the Soviet spy agency KGB, and his imprisonment was reduced to four years. Stefano Eugene Maino met Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino two years after her birth, meaning he is not her biological father. This raises the question: Who is Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino’s real father? The answer lies exclusively with her mother, Paula Maino.
This has been confirmed by at least five elderly individuals in Luciana – a small village in northern Italy on the Swiss border, known as a resort for Hitler’s Nazi soldiers during World War II. Luciana is a historically Cimbrian-speaking village about 35 km from Vicenza in Veneto, Italy, where the speakers of this language are referred to as “Zimbern” in German.
Paula Maino, known as a masseuse to Nazi soldiers, provided various services to them, including massage and companionship, and she slept with many in exchange for money. Since Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino was born two years after her supposed father Stefano Eugene Maino went to prison, it is believed that one of the Nazi soldiers fathered her. In plain words, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino is a Nazi child.
Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino was born on December 9, 1946, and has two siblings, Nadia and Anoushka, both Ukrainian names. It is worth noting that during World War II, Ukraine was one of the epicenters of Nazi activities. The entire family are strict followers of Roman Catholicism, harboring extreme hatred towards Jews and a favorable sentiment towards Muslims, likely due to Adolf Hitler’s close relations with several Muslim leaders, including the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini.
Amin al-Husseini met with Adolf Hitler on November 28, 1941, at the Reich Chancellery in Berlin and expressed gratitude for Hitler’s strong support for the Palestinian cause. Arab countries, including Palestine, were convinced that Germany would win the war and that the Arab cause would then prosper. They considered Germany a natural ally because they shared common enemies: the English and the Jews. They were therefore prepared to cooperate with Hitler’s Nazi forces wholeheartedly, even to the extent of participating in the war by committing acts of sabotage and instigating revolutions, and by forming an Arab Legion.
Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino’s family greatly admired the Palestinians, including Amin al-Husseini, because they were fighting common enemies – the Jews and the English. From her childhood, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino harbored extreme hatred toward Jews and was a supporter of the Palestinian cause.
One of the most troubling aspects of Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino is her Wikipedia page, where she is, of course, falsely presented as “Sonia Gandhi”. There is no information about her parents or siblings.
The interfaith marriage, Indian nationality, and practicing Christianity
Although Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino succeeded in marrying Rajiv Gandhi – a member of the Gandhi dynasty – on February 25, 1968, she applied for Indian citizenship only in 1983, 25 years later. She signed the citizenship document as Antonia Maino Gandhi, meaning, according to official documents, she has never been “Sonia Gandhi”. Surprisingly, she has continued in politics using a fake name.
Over the decades, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino’s influence within the Gandhi dynasty grew, and her connections with the Pakistani ISI deepened as she successfully emerged as the agency’s most valuable asset.
In her application for Indian citizenship, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino deliberately lied about her place of birth, stating she was born in Bassano del Grappa or the city of Bassano, when in fact, she was born in a village named Luciana.
Sources indicate that Rajiv Gandhi married Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino under interfaith marriage law because she did not convert to Hinduism, and as of August 22, 2024, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino is still a practicing Catholic. She reportedly even maintains a chapel inside her New Delhi residence.
Another shocking revelation is that Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino simultaneously holds Italian and Indian citizenship.
Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino also lied about her educational background. Initially, she claimed to have studied at Cambridge University, but later submitted an affidavit stating she had studied English at the Bell Educational Trust in Cambridge. People may mistakenly think “Cambridge” refers to the world-famous Cambridge University, but it is actually the name of a county town in Cambridgeshire, located on the River Cam, 55 miles (89 km) north of London. This means she attended a language course at the Bell Educational Trust, located in Cambridge county. Here too, she lied, as another source suggests she attended an English-language course at a language school called Lennox School, which was shut down in 1970.
It should be noted that Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino never studied in any college. She attended a Catholic-run seminary school named Maria Ausiliatrice in Giaveno, located 15 km from her adopted hometown of Orbassano. Poverty during those days forced young Italian girls to go to such missionary schools, and then in their teens, go to the UK to find work as cleaning maids, waitresses, au pairs, or escorts.
For decades, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino has remained a mysterious figure, with most people unaware of her past. There is no clear mention of her profession before marrying Rajiv Gandhi. In this report, we reveal shocking information about her past, especially during her stay in the United Kingdom.
It is worth mentioning that in 2008, a book titled The Red Sari, authored by Javier Moro and published by Roli Books, was instantly banned in India. In 2015, the ban on this book was lifted, and it is now available, including in its Hindi version.
After leaving Italy in search of better prospects, a desperate Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino, after multiple “jobs” and professions, finally managed to secure a job with an outfit run by Salman Taseer, a debonair Pakistani based in Lahore who had an export-import company headquartered in Dubai but who spent most of his time in London.
Before this, she caught Taseer’s attention while working with an escort agency and was sent to attend to Salman Taseer sometime in 1964. Her intelligence, physical attraction, and desperation for money, as well as her relationship with Rajiv Gandhi, piqued his interest. Taseer contacted his school-time intimate friend Mian Nawaz Sharif about the possibility of trapping Indira Gandhi’s son, Rajiv Gandhi, stating that he had found a suitable “bee”. Subsequently, he also contacted Brigadier Riaz Hussain, chief of the Pakistani spy agency ISI, through a covert agent deployed at the Pakistan High Commission in London. Brigadier Riaz Hussain took the matter very seriously, and almost immediately, a mission was launched under the codename “Lovely Maina”, with Salman Taseer assigned as the co-handler alongside ISI’s covert officer.
As instructed by the ISI, Taseer deepened his relationship with Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino – showering her with cash, expensive gifts, and discreet dinners. He eventually gave her a job in his London office. Due to their visible intimacy, other employees considered Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino to be either the boss’s girlfriend or mistress.
During her time at Salman Taseer’s London outlet, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino received orientation training in espionage and was regularly briefed to trap Rajiv Gandhi and compel him to marry her.
Before Maino successfully married Rajiv Gandhi on February 28, 1968, Brigadier Riaz Hussain, chief of ISI, was assigned to plan and execute this operation, for which he received a Presidential Medal of Recognition from the government of Pakistan.
Following her interfaith marriage with Rajiv Gandhi, a trained asset of Pakistani ISI was assigned to develop intimacy with Indira Gandhi and steal information and take photographs of her files related to Pakistan and other countries. Indira Gandhi never suspected Maino and considered as her own daughter thus never stopping her from roaming the entire house – including Gandhi’s bedroom. Instead, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino even succeeded in becoming an unofficial aide to Indira Gandhi, while none of the members of the Gandhi Dynasty ever suspected Maino as a snake in the sleeve.
According to our information, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino was maintaining connections with ISI until November 7, 2014, with the espionage agency’s chief Lieutenant General Zeheerul Islam. During her connections with the ISI chief, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino, immediately after Narendra Modi won a landslide victory during Lok Sabha Elections in May 2014 made several requests to “eliminate” Modi through secret assassins of the Pakistani spy agency.
Meanwhile, we have received an extraordinary scoop from a source in Italy stating that before leaving for the United Kingdom, Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino married her fiancé, Franco Luison, in a private ceremony. This marriage allegedly continued even after she married Rajiv Gandhi. If true, these revelations suggest that Maino harbors many dark secrets, which could cause a massive shockwave among the leaders and supporters of the Indian National Congress (INC) party. We are currently verifying this information.
As the truth behind Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino’s identity and her covert ties to Pakistan’s ISI begins to unravel, the implications are both staggering and far-reaching. The revelations not only cast a dark shadow over the legacy of the Gandhi dynasty but also raise urgent questions about the vulnerabilities that have been exploited within the highest echelons of Indian politics. This story serves as a stark reminder that the forces of deception and espionage operate even in the most unexpected places, and it is a call to vigilance for a nation that must now confront the unsettling reality of betrayal from within. The silence that once protected these secrets has been shattered, and the consequences will reverberate through the corridors of power for years to come.
