How God’s bank ended up as a financial penitent this year is a bracing chapter in the history of financial reforms that have swelled up in the aftermath of the 2008 credit crisis. Untouchable havens such as Switzerland and Liechtenstein were forced to open their chocolate-box palaces to the probes of international regulators. This year the power of the popes was challenged. I won't say too much about his life, other than one example: he gets involved in trying to relieve a community of very tough miners of their diamonds and gold through a gambling scam, in a tiny town in the Venezuelan rainforest where there is no law to speak of - just like the Wild West but in South America.

Piang dipped his hands into the cool water, and pulled them up by long slender roots; lily-pads offered their beauties and soon the banco was a bower of fragrant and brilliant flowers.

But the very fact the investigation exists at all is an indication that the days of Vatican secrecy — at least when it comes to banking — could soon be over. The worst of the bank's excesses came at the height of the Cold War, says Willan, when the Catholic Church was consumed by the threat of the Soviet Union. In a sharply divided world, the Holy See found itself on the same side as the Mafia, whose Sicilian vote-buying operations propped up the Christian Democrats against the communists. Meanwhile, the Vatican's sovereign status and tight-lipped policies offered Italians an offshore bank they could walk to, ideal for funneling funds to resistance groups in Eastern Europe or Central America, or otherwise moving money out of the country. "The feeling was that anything was justified if it was being done to combat communism," says Willan. Faptul că-mi pregătesc evadarea îmi ridică formidabil moralul. Mănânc mai mult decât oricând şi datorită pescuitului sunt în mare formă. Afară de asta, în fiecare dimineaţă, la stânci, fac peste două ore de gimnastică. Îmi exersez în special picioarele, căci braţele sunt bine puse la punct cu pescuitul.” (Papillon, Henri Charrière) Vatican insiders also revealed that the bank is awash in donations and cash, from Sunday collections and charitable giving. As much as 25 per cent of the bank’s business is done in cash – a feature that regulators said raised red flags for money laundering. About a third of its business comes from donations rooted in charities.Both Bruelhart and von Freyberg have tried to calm internal fears about the Vatican’s suspected links to money laundering. Its volume of transactions – about €2bn in and out annually – is too small to be much of a threat, say people familiar with their thinking. But suspicions remain that the bank may have been a refuge for tax cheats from Italy, which European officials admit has a problem with tax evasion.

He was the head of Banco Santander in Italy and considered to be the right-hand man of Santander’s powerful executive chairman Emilio Botín in the country. He also sat on the board of Italy’s giant state financing agency, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. But according to people familiar with the events, Gotti Tedeschi was viewed with distrust among some members of the council of cardinals which he tried to encourage to be more transparent. Personal battles with the Vatican hierarchy took their toll as well: in May 2012 he was ejected from the presidency after a no-confidence vote by the board. He even faced criminal charges that were later dropped after an investigation by Italian prosecutors. This book is for anybody who craves more Papillon - if it left you dying to know what happened to Charrière afterwards, then here it is! This lesser-known sequel follows his subsequent life as a free man in Venezuela, a country he describes with great affection. Having got to know him in the first book, it is fascinating to follow the life choices he makes with his long-desired and hard-fought freedom.

How far the Vatican reforms go depends on the man at the top. Named after a saint who was plain-spoken and happy with simple pursuits, Pope Francis’s approach so far has inspired the bank investigators to work some long and late hours. For them, his early reflections on what banking should be – in this bejewelled city of saints and sinners, or anywhere in the world – is worthy of some meditation. “Some say the best thing is to have a bank, others say it should be a relief fund, other recommend it be closed down,” Pope Francis said in July. “I trust the work the [Vatican bank] team is doing . . . But whether it’s a bank, a fund, a whatever, it should be based on transparency and honesty.” O ultimă privire spre râul Caroni, o ultimă privire peste umerii temnicerului meu, spre insula din mijlocul fluviului, unde se află ocna venezueleană, o ultimă privire spre oribilul trecut care a durat treisprezece ani în care am fost călcat în picioare, umilit, strivit.
