In which the history of the London building weighs heavily, financed by the Secretary of State, with credit lines from Credit Suisse and the Banca della Svizzera Italiana, for 200 million dollars for which the donations of the Obolo di San Peter.

That’s with money that should have gone to the poor. The building prices would have been inflated exorbitantly but without having any “valid economic reason.” By involving “many society of which it is not possible to know the lenders “.

The operations of speculators in the Vatican, up to extortion

Among this also the Gutt Sa di Gianluigi torzi, through a blackmail that for Vatican investigators involves contracts signed by monsignors on behalf of the Secretary of State.
