Vatican bank director, deputy resign amid scandal
2013-07-02
[FOXNEWS] The director of the embattled Vatican bank and his deputy have resigned following the latest developments in a broadening finance scandal.

The Vatican said Monday that Paolo Cipriani and his deputy, Massimo Tulli, offered to step down "in the best interest of the institute and the Holy See."

Cipriani, along with the bank's then-president, was placed under investigation by Rome prosecutors in 2010 for alleged violations of Italia's anti-money-laundering norms after financial police seized 23 million euro ($30 million) from a Vatican account at a Rome bank. Neither has been charged and the money was eventually ordered released.

But the bank, known as the Institute for Religious Works, has remained under the glare of prosecutors and now Pope Francis amid fresh concerns it has been used as an offshore tax haven.

#3  They're still hiding funds. Look for the offshore account numbered "& cum-spiri 2-2-0"

#2  This is one place Pope Francis actually has the experience to go after, which is one of the reasons why the College of Cardinals elected him - to clean out the Curia and the rot within.

#1  This certainly gives a black eye cat to the Vatican Bank, Institute for Religious Works Paolo Cipriani as the cat and his deputy, Massimo Tulli as the fox.
