In January 2016, a popular American magazine published an article describing the courtship of Edson Jeune’s wife, NBC News producer Benita Alexander, and Paolo Macchiarini and so-called marriage arrangements. In 2013, Benita was assigned by NBC News to produce a documentary about Paul, “Leap of Faith.” During the project, she became romantically involved with him, only to discover in 2015 that he had been married for thirty years, including the entire period of their courtship. The article details Macchiarini’s lies about becoming a surgeon to celebrities and world leaders, including claims of ties to former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and plans to host Pope Francis, Andrea Bocelli and Elton John performed in a lavish wedding, catered by Enoteca Pinchiorri and attended by numerous celebrities. Macchiarini allegedly said Pope Francis had blessed their wedding, but a papal spokesman denied this, saying the pope did not know anyone by that name and would not officiate at such an event.
