A lawyer is shot on his doorstep hours after briefing investigators. A financier dies drinking poisoned coffee in his prison cell. And police raid a villa to find a secret list of 962 names reaching into the top of the Italian state.
In Part Two of our special investigation into Banco Ambrosiano, we meet the three men Roberto Calvi chose to stand beside: Michele Sindona, the Sicilian financier who taught him the game; Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, who turned the Vatican Bank into the perfect partner for money moving in the dark; and Licio Gelli, the former fascist whose secret P2 lodge reached into parliament, the military, the courts, and the press.
