  Licio Gelli
Licio Gelli (born April 21, 1919), masonic Grand Master of the powerful Italian lodge P2, and continued in this role after the expulsion of P2 from organised freemasonry in 1976.
Gelli has been accused of having assumed an influential role in Operation Gladio[?], a clandestine "stay-behind[?]" operation sponsored by the CIA and NATO to counter communist influence in Italy, as well as in other European countries.
Gelli repeatedly publicly declared to be a close friend of Argentina's leader Juan Peron (but no confirmations ever came from South America), and often affirmed, in strange forms, that this friendship was really important for Italy, but he never explicitly explained why.

 P2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Calvi's connections with the Worshipful Master Licio Gelli became a particular focus of press and police attention, and caused the lodge (then secret) to be discovered.
A list of adherents was found in Gelli's house in Arezzo, containing over 900 names among which were very important state officers, a few politicians and a number of military officers, many of them enrolled in the Italian secret services.
Allegations of surreptitious international relationships, mainly with Argentina (Gelli repeatedly suggested he was a close friend of Juan Peron) and with some people suspected of belonging to the American Central Intelligence Agency were also partly confirmed; but soon a political debate overtook the legal level of the analysis.

The people around Sindona, trying to save him, all led to Licio Gelli, headmaster of P2: Rodolfo Guzzi, Sindona's lawyer ; Pier Sandro Magnoni, his gender; Philip Guarino and Paul Rao, two freemasons who met Licio Gelli a couple of hours after being received by Giulio Andreotti.

 [No title]
Gelli has been published by many newspapers with an extensive view over the principles of the para-masonic group called Propaganda 2 (P2) whose projects, as he says, are in the process of being accomplished together with the present government.
The Gelli case shouldn't be considered only from a political and judicial point of view but also under a psychological profile.
I think, though, that Gelli is not the real "puppeteer" but a bigger "puppet" operated by the people who financed him and vouched for him to the economical and political power, criminality and Vatican finance.

Gelli, who held dual Italian-Argentine citizenship, had been on the run since last year after a police raid on his luxurious villa in Arezzo, 130 miles north of Rome.
The fact that Gelli was apparently using the lodge to achieve political power in Italy unleashed such a furor that high military and security officials whose names were found on the rolls were forced to resign; so was Prime Minister Arnaldo Forlani, though he was not a P2 member.
Gelli's name was also linked to the collapse of Milan's Banco Ambrosiano, whose president, Roberto Calvi, was not only a member of P2, but was believed to be the lodge's paymaser, allegedly funding right-wing Latin leaders who were friends of Gelli's.
