Director'• Sec'y _ F'BIIt>OJ On 8/16/82,1 passed along the question you ha b6 regarding any information we might have in our files relating to b7C Roberto Calvi, former president (deceased) of the Banco Ambrosiar Your question was in response to an article appearing in "The Ne\< York Times" (attached), discussing Calvi's death, a possible $1.4 billion loss to Banco Ambrosiano, and associated potential liabili ties of the Vatican Bank. Our files show that our Legat in Rome was advised by the Italian authorities that Roberto Calvi was one of several bankers arrested on 5/20/82, on charges brought by the Italian Finance Police of illegally transferring funds abroad. Calvi, a member of the Christian Democratic Party, has been linked by Italian Investi gators to the Italian P-2 scandal (referring to the latest failure of the Italian Government attributed to a secret Masonic Lodge, the Propaganda-2). Well founded speculation had Calvi using his control of Banco Ambrosiano and numerous holding companies and financial institutions throughout the world for concealment and laundering b7D Michele Sindona was convicted on 6/17/80, on 65 counts of fraud stemming from his operation and ownership of the Franklin National Bank, Huntington,· New York, which collapsed in 1974. ( Sindona misapplied and lost approximately $45 million of the bank's / funds in foreign exchange trading. Newspapers, at the time of the trial, reported that the Vatican lost equivalent funds in similar trading but Marcinkus and two other clerics wanted to provide character witness testimony for Sindona's trial. The Vatican did not permit the proposed testimony. The source of the newspaper material appears to be Sindona' s attorne~;1 /. f li I 1 ! ·/ //' () / tR\p I tl) ' '(f. I • • Note to Judge Webster RE: MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF BANCO AMBROSIANO PRESIDENT ROBERTO CALVI Archbishop Marcinkus was interviewed at Vatican City on 4/28/73, by the FBI and New York Organized Crime Strike Force and DOJ attorneys regarding fraudulent financial deals. This was one of several interviews concerning Mario Foligni who was under investigation in a $950 million counterfeit bond deal out of New York. The Archbishop professed no knowledge of the counter feit bonds, which were allegedly destined for the Vatican Bank, but described two unsuccessful attempts by Foligni to engage the Vatican Bank in other transactions totalling 100 and 300 million dollars. Both of these proposed transactions had been brought to Archbishop Marcinkus through other clerics in the Vatican rather than directly from Foligni. The Archbishop thought Foligni had implicated him in the counterfeit bonds movement, because he refused to enter the previous agreements. This information was corroborated in subsequent interviews at the Vatican and of Foligni. When asked about Michele Sindona, the Archbishop referred to Sindona as a good friend with whom he had had few financial dealings and described him as one of the wealthiest industrialists in Italy. A confidpntjal poljce report jndjcate:l b7D ~ I However, we ave received no information from any of our sources which validates the newspaper reports that the Vatican Bank shares any liability for Calvi's or the Banco Ambrosiano's losses. ~ ~ ~A.-c//L,_-- o.
