God's Banker: Roberto Calvi's grisly end

Roberto Calvi - former chairman of Banco Ambrosiano, Italy's largest Catholic bank - was dubbed "God's banker" because of his ties to the Vatican Bank.

On 18 June 1982, he was found hanging from scaffolding beneath Blackfriars bridge in London; bricks had been stuffed in his pockets and he had something like $15,000 in cash on him.

Calvi was on the run, in the months before his death he had been accused by the Italian judiciary of stealing millions being laundered on behalf of the mafia, but nobody knew he had been working with an American bishop, Paul Marcinkus, for years to syphon over $1 billion into offshore accounts.
