A former Papal Nuncio left Ireland under a cloud after vast sums of South American funded money were found in his bank account.
Archbishop Gaetano Alibrandi left Dublin and the Vatican’s diplomatic service in 1989 after investigations into his financial affairs.
The Irish Times reports that the money originated in South America where Alibrandi had served as Papal Nuncio to Chile from 1961.
He led the Chilean delegation to the second Vatican Council, which opened in October 1962.
