	Vatican Bank Probe Extended to Suspect Clergymen Accounts, Corriere By Lorenzo Totaro The Bloomberg October 21, 2010 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-21/vatican-bank-probe-extended-to-suspect-clergymen-accounts-corriere-says.html Italian prosecutors probing alleged money-laundering at the Vatican Bank suspect some clergymen may have posed as account holders at the lender for wealthy individuals, Corriere della Sera said, citing court documents. A Rome judge yesterday upheld the seizure of 23 million euros ($32 million) in an Italian bank account registered to the Institute for Religious Works, as the Vatican bank is called, and three other operations are under scrutiny for alleged money- laundering violations, the newspaper said. In one case a priest allegedly moved 300,000 euros from an account in San Marino and transferred it to a businessman, Corriere reported.
