GODFATHER III & P(2) …"Unlike many traditional banks, the Vatican Bank has maintained the mysterious – and highly controversial – reputation of the religion it serves. Officially known as the Instituto per le Opere di Religione (IOR), it has been accused of a number of misdeeds over the last century, the most serious of which have been regarding money laundering.
However, the most damning scandal to hit the IOR was the Banco Ambrosiano affair that broke in the early 1980’s, and all of the subsequent stories that were connected to it. It resulted in the supposed murder of that bank’s chairman, Roberto Calvi, who had such an influence with the IOR and the Catholic Church that he was dubbed ‘God’s Banker’ by the media.
Such was the magnitude of the story that it has been linked to the death of Pope John Paul I a few years earlier, and provided the inspiration for the plot of THE GODFATHER PART III. The scandal first broke in 1978 when the Bank of Italy (BOI) unveiled a report that said Banco Ambrosiano was heading for a disaster as a result of mismanagement and corruption. The IOR was implicated in the scandal because it was the main shareholder in Banco Ambrosiano.
Blood money
The allegations centered on Calvi moving vast sums of money out of Italy into a large collection of overseas banks, as well as intentionally inflating share prices and taking out huge unsecured loans. The initial investigation would come undone, however, when the lead magistrate was assassinated and the BOI official leading the inspection was put in prison for charges that were later dropped.
n 1981 police raided the office of illegal masonic lodge Propaganda Due (P2), finding evidence that implicated Calvi. After a trial he was sentenced to four years in prison, but was released on appeal. By 1981 it emerged that Banco Ambrosiano could not account for almost $1.3bn of funds, leading to Calvi fleeing Italy, before he was found hanging from a London bridge soon after.
The circumstances around Calvi’s death have been steeped in mystery for years. Some believe his hanging under Blackfriars Bridge was symbolic to P2, as many members described themselves as frati neri, or black friars. Meanwhile, any suggestions that he may have committed suicide seemed very unlikely – due to his clothes being stuffed with bricks."…
