		Roberto Calvi (Milan, April 13, 1920 - London, June 17, 1982) (aka Gian Roberto Calvini) was an Italian banker known to the press as "God's Banker", because of his close association with the Vatican.

	The Banco Ambrosiano Collapse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Banco Ambrosiano failure is notorious, however because of the bank president's close connections with a subversive political group and with the Vatican.
		Roberto Calvi, the president of Banco Ambrosiano, stood at the center of a vast international financial network spanning Europe, the Caribbean and South America.
		Because Banco Ambrosiano had become the object of such close scrutiny by government and press, it soon became known that some of the bank's loans were weak.

		Calvi's Banco Ambrosiano is about to collapse and is going to take along in its devastating fall high officials within the Vatican and its bank, that has collaborated in building a network of offshore dummy corporations propped up under the Ambrosiano Group's line of credit, into which hundreds of millions of dollars have disappeared.
		The Calvi affair is the intersection of several powerful segments in the Italian society that have international connections, and that have been using Banco Ambrosiano to funnel huge sums of money to regimes throughout Latin America which are friendly to both the U.S. Government and the Vatican.
		After the 1982 collapse of the Banco Ambrosiano with which IOR has been closely associated, investigators issued an arrest warrant for him for complicity in fraud.

		However, the Ambrosiano was the second most important private bank in Italy, and its shipwreck was described by the Financial Times as the gravest crisis in the entire history of Western banking.
		The Ambrosiano spun a universal cobweb for the laundering of dollars coming in from the drugs and arms trade, and operated hand in glove with the Sicilian and US mafias and the drug networks in Turkey and Colombia.
		Calvi, who administered funds for the Holy See and headed the Banco Ambrosiano, was famous for the iciness of his smile and his deft accounting skills.

		Banco Ambrosiano was also involved with the Vatican Bank, benignly titled the "Institute for Religious Works" or IOR.
		When it was learned that over a billion dollars have evaporated from Banco Ambrosiano's ledger and that the Vatican had guaranteed numerous loans with "letters of comfort" and other financial instruments, the Holy See was in the glare of public inquiry and official investigation.
		As the Banco Ambrosiano affair suggested, through institutions like the IOR the Vatican accumulated financial wealth and power involving the papacy in an unsavory arrangement with gangsters, rogue political operators and quite possibly even murder.

	Nassau Institute
		The IOR was a principal shareholder of Banco Ambrosiano and was closely linked to the financial scandals, eventually coughing up $250 million to pay creditors after the collapse.
		When Banco Ambrosiano opened the doors of its plush Nassau offices in April, 1982, Siegenthaler joked about the lavish appointments: "We don't have gold phones, but the style of this organisation is to do things with taste and to do it well...We're going to be here a long, long time."
		The Banco Ambrosiano scandal was preceded in 1974 by the collapse of Franklin National Bank, an American institution set up by the Vatican's hand-picked financial advisor, Michele Sindona.

		Both of these companies were now insolvent (because of the scandal in the case of the Banco Ambrosiano), and there was no way that the dummy Panamian companies could repay the loans.
		Marcinkus, to this end, sat on the Board of the Banco Ambrosiano's subsidiary in Nassau (the one that controlled the Monte Carlo telex conduit).

		The collapse of Calvi’s Banco Ambrosiano revealed that high officials within the Vatican and its bank had collaborated in building a network of offshore dummy corporations propped up under the Ambosirano Group’s line of credit, into which hundreds of millions of dollars disappeared.
		One is that Banco Ambrosiano was used by Calvi and Gelli to funnel huge sums of money to regimes throughout Latin America which were friendly to both the US government and the Vatican.
