Italy anon here. Some time ago I posted that Australian Cardinal Pell, who was convicted of child molestation, was Our Guy and the victim of a set-up, designed to remove him from his Vatican post. He was Prefect of the Secretariat of the Economy, a position created for him to investigate financial irregularities in the Vatican. And right when corrupt Italian Vatican officials were screeching about his digging into their financial affairs, these charges magically appeared Down Under, forcing him to return to Australia to defend himself. Wasn't that convenient.
At the time I posted, a few anons listened, but most blew me off.
Well, guess what. It's true. Pel was discovering SHITLOADS of financial irregularities in the Vatican, involving billions of Euros. And they shut him down. When he had to leave, he was replaced by an "Acting" official who's directly involved in the very corruption the office is supposed to be investigating.

"By October 2016, two years into his term as prefect of the Vatican’s Secretariat for the Economy, Cardinal George Pell had become aware of a Vatican dicastery handling large amounts of unregistered cash in offshore accounts.
But nearly three years later the questions raised by Cardinal Pell about the management of Administration of the Patrimony of the Holy See (APSA), the dicastery which handles the Vatican’s real estate and financial assets, have seemingly gone unanswered. Pell had identified money laundering and fraud risks related to the APSA’s use of foreign bank accounts and had questioned particular asset and real estate transactions.
Keen to move swiftly ahead with Pope Francis’ mandate to root out mismanagement and possible corruption in Vatican financial operations, the cardinal prefect contacted Australian banking friends in London in 2016 to find out more. They estimated that possibly as much as €100 million could be held in these accounts, primarily in the branches of two private banks located in Lugano, Switzerland.
Cardinal Pell responded by saying he would ask a Swiss law firm to first collect bank statements going back 10 years of one of these accounts, and to have the Vatican’s auditor general, Libero Milone, a former partner with Deloitte, a multinational financial auditing and consultancy firm, inspect them. To do this, Pell had to ask in writing for Pope Francis’ permission, which the Holy Father duly gave him with a simple signature.
Yet the bank statements never made it to Cardinal Pell or Milone — both of whom subsequently departed from their Vatican positions…."
Pell is OUR GUY and has been railroaded
