Allison Guerriero, the Girlfriend Who Turned in an FBI Traitor Who Colluded With a Russian Oligarch, Found Dead in Her Home

Rest in Peace, Allison.

Her boyfriend was Charles McGonigal, the former head of counterintelligence at the FBI field office in New York City. He was involved in the bogus “Russia collusion” investigation against Donald Trump.

The mistress who helped bring down jailed FBI spy Charles McGonigal has died suddenly at her home in South Florida, the Daily Mail can reveal.

Allison Guerriero, 52, passed away hours after sharing a flurry of 75 posts on X on Thursday, including a video of herself walking in the street demanding a spotlight on other Feds and another where she declared: ‘I hate the FBI.’

They were part of her unrelenting years-long campaign, often conducted on social media, against married McGonigal, 58, and her personal war against other senior figures in the agency.

Guerriero, a close friend of former New York City mayor and Trump stalwart Rudy Giuliani, died sometime in the evening of August 27, according to her devastated 80-year-old father Bill.

Her 18-month affair with McGonigal, the treacherous former head of the FBI counterintelligence in New York, helped blow the lid on his crimes, which included secretly working for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

He is serving six years and six months in federal prison, but Guerriero always believed he should have received a harsher sentence, telling the Daily Mail in 2024: ‘He’s a traitor.’

On the day of her death, she posted a selfie video of her strolling in her relatively new hometown of Boynton Beach, Florida, saying: ‘Hey, good morning everybody. Friends and enemies… of course I’m in the middle of all my PTSD from 9/11 but I’m actually breathing a huge sigh of relief…

‘Here’s the problem with Charles McGonigal. You know his name, but you never did before that. You knew Jim Comey’s name. You knew Chris Wray’s name.. all the names that you already know, you know. Why don’t you start looking for the names that you do not know?’

Her father, who lives in Guerriero’s former hometown of Florham Park, New Jersey, told the Daily Mail he has not yet been told the cause of death or the circumstances.

‘We really don’t know yet. We’re waiting to get access to the autopsy report. I believe they’re going to issue a death certificate within the next day so we can get her home and have her put to rest,’ he said.

…….While the cause of death is unknown publicly, other sources have hinted at possible darker reasons behind it.

One told the Daily Mail: ‘She was getting threatened a lot by people online for her views. She certainly had enemies.’

Guerriero’s father countered that theory, saying: ‘She showed no concern that there was anyone trying to harm her or anything like that. I really don’t think there was anything suspicious, not from what I know about this.

……..Guerriero was a former vice president of US operations for Israeli security firm Mifram while working in New York.

She first met McGonigal in spring 2017 as a volunteer for the Federal Enforcement Homeland Security Foundation charity.

…….He cleverly masked signs of his overall treachery, passing off any outward clues as part of his role.

He took a trip to Albania during their relationship in 2017 and at one point asked Guerriero to accompany him to meet sanctioned metals magnate Deripaska, a crony of despot President Putin.

In early October, the couple were due to enjoy a meal for Guerriero’s birthday. But the celebration was abruptly canceled because the then-FBI director Christopher Wray came into town and McGonigal had to attend meetings.

‘So we went out either the fifth, sixth or seventh of October,’ said the former mistress. According to court papers, on October 5 McGonigal received $80,000 from his former Albanian intelligence official associate in a car parked outside a New York restaurant.

Guerriero cannot recall anything that happened the night they were out that would point to the handover. But she does now wonder if the celebration was a smokescreen.

Weeks later, she made a startling discovery in their apartment. A bag containing what she now knows was $80,000 in $100 bills, neatly rolled.

‘My mind went to them being what we call flash rolls, money you would give an undercover informant or an undercover agent for them to continue operating in the field,’ she said. ‘They were in a black plastic bag with gold writing, the sort you’d get from a liquor store. It wasn’t particularly hidden, it was just by the main door.’

Challenged, McGonigal claimed he had won the money betting on a baseball game. Guerriero listened patiently, but her suspicion antenna was beginning to twitch.

However, it was McGonigal’s confession that he was not divorcing his wife that led to their breakup on Christmas Eve, 2018 – three months after he retired from the FBI and later became an $850,000-a-year head of security for a bank.

……..Guerriero tipped off people she knew at the FBI about her suspicions in 2019 after reflecting on events.

Her accusations appeared to have fallen on deaf ears, although the wheels of justice obviously did begin to turn on McGonigal and he was arrested in January 2023. At the time, he and Pamela were living in Manhattan.

‘After Charlie and I had broken up, I had spent a series of weeks and months rolling everything over in my head,’ she said.

‘And it had occurred to me, this guy’s a traitor. He was accepting bribes to peddle influence. He was accepting bribes to work with Oleg Deripaska, who he invited me to meet in Vienna when we were still dating.

‘And every time I tried to talk to the FBI about it, they didn’t want to listen. I told his former boss, I told other people within their senior executive service and nobody did anything.

‘The FBI and the United States Justice Department did not want to hear that their superstar was compromised.’
