Rome, December 2 - Italian finance police on Wednesday searched the Rome offices of Banca Finnat Euroamerica and seized documentation, working on a Vatican warrant. The bank's president, Giampietro Nattino, is under investigation in the Vatican for alleged insider trading and money laundering. Nattino is being probed following statements implicating him in suspect operations by Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, the disgraced former head of analytic accounts at the Holy See's asset-management agency APSA.

Scarano is under investigation in Rome after being arrested in 2013 for allegedly trying to illegally smuggle 20 million euros into Italy for rich friends.

The Vatican sent the search warrant to the Rome Court of Appeal, which approved it and ordered the finance police to carry it out.
