@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ The most operationally significant CIA program in Italy was [[Operation Gladio]]
The [[Propaganda Due]] (P2) Masonic lodge, led by [[Licio Gelli]], was a clandestine organization of approximately 1,000 members that included senior figures in Italian intelligence services, the military, politics, media, and organized crime. P2 was discovered when Italian tax police raided Gelli's villa in March 1981 and found a membership list. The list included the head of all three Italian intelligence services, 43 members of parliament, senior military officers, future Prime Minister [[Silvio Berlusconi]], and [[Roberto Calvi]], chairman of Banco Ambrosiano.[^2]
[[Roberto Calvi]], known as "God's Banker" for his [[Vatican Bank|IOR (Institute for the Works of Religion)]] connections, was found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge in [[London]] on June 18, 1982, in what was ruled suicide then later reclassified as murder. Banco Ambrosiano collapsed with a $1.3 billion shortfall, much of it tied to fictitious loans to Vatican-connected shell companies in [[Panama]] and Latin America. The Vatican Bank's exposure forced a partial settlement. The IOR's role as a conduit for CIA-connected funds - channeled through to Solidarity in [[Poland]] and other Cold War projects - is documented in several investigations.[^1]
