This is an interesting bit to me in two ways. First is the parallel between this stroy and the movie, 'Godfather III' which presents the murder of a Vatican Banker in factually identical manner.
There seems much more credibility to these movies than we give them. The second is that on the same day the British announced it was re-opening this investigation, it stated it would not investigate the murder of Princess Diana. This decision was made despite the discovery of a note written by her and given to a friend for safe-keeping in the event of her death, which exactly predicted there were plans to have her murdered being made by members of the 'Royal' family of England.

ITALY/GREAT BRITAIN

THE CALVI COLD CASE MYSTERY


The City of London Police, the force which deals with crime in
the capital's financial district, have reopened a murder
inquiry into the death of the Italian financier, Robert Calvi,
known as "God's banker", whose body was found hanging beneath
Blackfriers Bridge, in central London, on 17 June 1982. Mr
Calvi, whose body was weighed down by bricks, was also carrying
approximately $15,000. Within days the Banco Ambrosiano, of
which Calvi had been chairman since 1975, and in which the
Vatican's financial arm, the Instituto per le Opere di
Religione (IOR), held a significant stake, collapsed. Calvi's
death was originally regarded as suicide, a conclusion based on
a badly-managed police investigation and a coroner's inquest
which did little more than rubber-stamp the suicide assumption.

The circumstances surrounding the death of the Milanese banker
became more opaque when it emerged that the bank, which he had
controlled for seven years, was also linked with off-shore tax
havens through which Mafia-laundered billions of dollars, with
Cold War political intrigue and with the sinister and
politically influential Freemason lodge P2, banned in Italy as
a possible security threat to the state. The IOR later agreed
to pay $250 million to Banco Ambrosiano creditors, although the
Chicago-born Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, who had been chairman
of the IOR since 1971 and "pro president" of the Vatican City
State since 1981, denied any wrongdoing.

Last year, a Rome tribunal appointed a panel of forensic
experts to re-examine the evidence, including Roberto Calvi's
body which had been exhumed in 1998. They concluded that the
Milanese banker had not been killed at another location in
London, but had been hanged from a boat on the Thames under
Blackfriars Bridge. In their report, published on 25 July, the
Rome prosecutors concluded that although the Mafia had
recovered most of the money it had entrusted to Calvi to
launder, Guiseppe "Pippo" Calo, a Mafia godfather who has been
in prison since 1985, ordered Calvi's death to protect from
possible blackmail the "politico-institutional figures and
[representatives] of freemasonry, the P2 lodge, and the IOR
with whom he [Calvi] had invested substantial sums of money,
some of it from Cosa Nostra and Italian public corporations."

Apart from Pippo Calo, the prosecutors' report named three
others as having an "active role" in Calvi's killing: Ernesto
Diotallevi, who acted as a link between the banker and Flavio
Carboni, a Sardinian property contractor who had met Calvi in
1981, organized the flight to London in June 1982 and
accompanied Calvi to the British capital, with his [Carboni's]
Austrian-born, 22-year-old girlfriend, Manuela Kleinszig. At
least ten others are implicated in the Calvi killing, according
to the Italian news magazine, "L'Espresso", but their names
have been excised from the prosecutors' report until a decision
is taken on whether to proceed to trial, which may depend on
what the City of London Police (CLP) uncover in the course of
their cold case inquiry. It has already emerged that evidence
disregarded both by the CLP and the Home Office will play a
significant part in the reinvestigation, and the CLP have
identified several UK residents whom they intend to interview
in connection with the case. Mindful of the sensitivity and
intrigue surrounding the affair, the CLP have also confirmed
that the lead investigator is not a member of the Freemason
Brotherhood, a most unusual admission for a British police
force.
