Twenty years after Roberto Calvi was found hanging under a London bridge, forensic experts looked at his hands — and found no trace of the bricks he was supposed to have carried.
In the final part of our special investigation into Banco Ambrosiano, we follow “God’s Banker” through his last nine days: the desperate letter to Pope John Paul II, the missing $1.4 billion, and his flight across Europe under a false name and into the hands of the underworld. We lay out the forensic case that turned a suicide ruling into a murder finding. We sit through the 2005–2007 Rome trial that ended with a killing confirmed and every defendant acquitted. And we watch the Vatican’s endgame — a settlement it swore was not an admission, and an archbishop shielded by sovereignty who never stood trial.
