Roberto Calvi was initially thought to have committed suicide after he was found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge On June 18, 1982.
Private investigators and journalists have claimed there was more to Calvi’s death than meets the eye.
It is alleged that he was profiting from vast sums of money being laundered by the Mafia and the Vatican.
The Vatican ran the only unregulated bank in the world. It is claimed this meant money in it could be invested, and the profits would not be subject to tax laws because Italian regulators could not see it.
The theory being put forward by Channel 5 show Murder at the Vatican – Conspiracy, which airs on Friday at 8pm, is that the Vatican needed Calvi to siphon Mafia money from its bank to a network of global companies so it would be free of Mafia association.
