If it were a new novel by Dan Brown, the «Vatileaks Code» would begin in a secret room, with the Vatican Crows plotting to bring down the Jesuit Pope under the blows of the scandal of money for the poor used to make millionaire deals. And he would name the cardinals capable of using a group of spies in order to find traces of the business “of dubious ethics”, to be fed to the newspapers and thus open the conspiracy in the Church. In reality, however, the names of the instigators are not there, so much so that the Vatican had to open a file to investigate the dossier of the office of the SOS Anti-Mafia group, which appeared in the eyes of the magistrates of the Holy See as an espionage activity . The promoter of justice, Alessandro Diddi, is coordinating the investigation which runs parallel to the Perugia file on the unauthorized access to databases carried out by Lieutenant Pasquale Striano and the prosecutor Antonio Laudati, in collaboration with the journalists of Domani. Including those who, on October 1, 2019, had published in L’Espresso the scandal of the negotiation for the purchase of the London building carried out by the Secretariat of State, which then led to the trial of Cardinal Angelo Becciu.
Comparing today the documents of the spy file with the documents of the Becciu case, some incredible clues might bear the signature of the instigators and reveal the names of those who, at the time, may have pulled the strings of a story capable of undermining the reformative action of Pope Francis, engaged in a moral battle, a sort of clean-up, to raise the image of the Church. The clue capable of revealing the mystery of the espionage once morest the Vatican investigators is contained in a document that the promoter Diddi, who at the time was carrying out investigations on the protagonists of the negotiation concerning the purchase of the London building, sends to institutes Slovenian credit institutions. This is a seizure decree, dated 20 March 2020, with which the magistrate of the Papal State orders two banks in Ljubljana, Unicredit Bank Slovenia DD and Dezelna Banka Slovene DD, to seal two current accounts, registered to the company Logsic OO «Today this Office received an urgent communication from the Apostolic Nunciature in Slovenia in which it is stated that the Slovenian criminal police, financial criminal section, has reported a suspicious operation which appears to have been carried out to the detriment of the Secretariat of State “, we read in the decree, which underlines that sums of money amounting to 500 thousand euros have passed through those accounts in several tranches and which, according to the police, might be “proceeds of crime”, so much so that “this Office has the Vatican Gendarmerie Corps was immediately activated to obtain more detailed information on the recipient of the aforementioned sum” and which “with a note received today, ascertained that the aforementioned company was owned by an Italian citizen, one Cecilia Marogna”, writes Diddi.
The same Cecilia Marogna who, that very day, had been subjected to unauthorized access to the databases by Lieutenant Striano. And Striano had also carried out illicit checks on all the main protagonists of the London negotiation: on the owner of the building, the entrepreneur Raffaele Mincione on 22 July 2019, on 25 and 28 October 2019. On the Larino broker Gianluigi Torzi, owner of Luxembourg company Gutt.Sa which would have purchased the property on 25 July, while on Fabrizio Tirabassi, minuter of the Administrative Office of the Secretariat of State and among the main accusers of Cardinal Angelo Becciu, the illicit intrusions took place on 22 July, 30 and August 20, 2019.
The scandal, with the publication of the sales agreement between the Secretariat of State and Gutt.Sa, was published on October 1st and triggered the Vatican’s investigations. Which found the key precisely on March 20, 2020, when Striano illegally accessed Lady Vaticano’s data and the pontifical judiciary issued the decree seizing Marogna’s accounts. A rather unusual coincidence of dates, especially since a short circuit emerges from the documents. Because the day before, March 19, the Slovenian Apostolic Nunciature had communicated a report received by the police regarding a suspicious operation by the IOR, which had set the communication of the beneficiary’s bank details by 12pm the following day. Deadline that the institute would not have been able to meet. The following day, Striano’s searches and the Gendarmerie’s identification of Marogna’s name as owner of the company based in Slovenia coincide. However, what is not in the Vatican file is precisely the origin of the investigations by the anti-money laundering authority: there is no trace of the report for the suspicious operation accused in the trial. Who communicated, therefore, the arrival of the “incriminated” transfers on banking relationships?
