Paola Catanzaro

Paola Catanzaro, formerly known as Paolo, is a former self-proclaimed healer and mystic from Brindisi, Italy, who was sentenced to five and a half years in prison for fraud and conspiracy. Following a gender transition in 2014, Catanzaro gained notoriety for claiming to receive divine apparitions and promising miraculous healings, leading to substantial financial exploitation of her followers, including celebrities. Her fraudulent activities were confirmed by a recent court ruling, which upheld her conviction and revealed the extent of her deceit.
