ROBERT CALVI
Name: Roberto Calvi.
Born: Milan, 13 April 1920
Died: 17 June 1982
Roberto Calvi (Milan, 13 April 1920 - London, 17 June 1982) was an Italian
banker dubbed by the press as "God's Banker", due to his close association with
the Vatican. A native of Milan, Calvi was the chairman of Banco Ambrosiano which
collapsed in one of modern Italy's biggest political scandals, and his death in
London in June 1982 has been the source of enduring controversy. Calvi's death
was ruled as murder after two coroner's inquests and an independent
investigation, and in June 2007 five people were acquitted of his murder after a
trial in Rome.
Claims have been made that Calvi's death involved the Vatican Bank (Banco
Ambrosiano's main shareholder), the Mafia (which may have used Banco Ambrosiano
for money laundering), and the Propaganda Due or P2 masonic lodge.
