Author Gerald Posner has investigated some high-profile issues for the 12 books he’s written.
An attorney and former chief investigative reporter for The Daily Beast, he’s written books about Motown, as well as the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Posner said he has wanted to research Vatican finances since ’84, when he was doing pro bono work in Argentina researching Nazi Joseph Mengele — known as the “Angel of Death” for his torture of men, women and children at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II — for a lawsuit he brought on behalf of surviving twins from Auschwitz.
While in the Argentine federal police archives, Posner said, he came across files on a priest and a bishop who had helped Nazis after World War II.
He’s been working on his book, “God’s Bankers,” which he said is an in-depth examination of Vatican finances, since 2005.
