London Telegraph and Inside Fraud Bulletin named the Vatican as the world's top 8th destination for laundered money with over $55billion in illegal money.The Vatican like other offshore banking centers whose banking secrecy makes it impossible to trace laundered funds back to their source.
London Telegraph ranked the Vatican Bank ahead of Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Bahamas in banking secrecy.
The Bank of the Vatican has been accused of laundering USD 200 million by proxy through an Italian creditor, a report indicates.
The allegation was
made by an Italian magazine that pointed to the bank's
purported involvement in stealth fiscal transactions —via several
accounts —with Italy's UniCredit Bank, Russia Today TV network
quoted Panorama magazine as reporting.
“This corruption is continuing on a regular basis in the Vatican,” claimed Janathan Levy, a lawyer familiar with the bank.
“Again, there's no reason for a religion to have a bank that does
worldwide commercial activities, dealing in gold, dealing in insurance,
dealing in property and then hiding behind the Roman Catholic Church,"
Levy pointed out.
“I had the privilege to walk inside this bank. It's nothing like a
bank,” the Russian news channel quoted another lawyer, Massimiliano
Gabrieli, as saying.
“If you go there you deposit or withdraw money without limit,
without any kind of receipt for the bank and for the client. All you
have is a single card with a number,” he stated.
