Former Vatican Auditor Hints at Money Laundering and Says ‘Skeleton Key’ Allowed Officials to Make Unlawful Transactions

Published On:

Following the money laundering allegations, the Vacanyet has once again drawn public attention. Top executives were accused of money laundering with a skeleton key by an auditor who had previously worked for the church. The auditor described how the key allegedly made it possible for officials to operate covertly and carry out illegal transactions.

The Vatican has previously been beset by allegations of money laundering schemes. The complex plan that has been enabling officials to conduct illegal transactions for years has been exposed by an auditor who was fired in 2017.

The suspected money laundering is the result of something known as a skeleton key. According to reports, the key modifies the names and account numbers associated with transactions after they are completed. As a result, bank accounts involved in illicit transactions would be impossible to track down.

Both the sender’s and the recipient’s identities are concealed by the key. If the allegation is accurate, it would imply that authorities were able to transfer funds to private customers, resulting in a number of illegal transactions.

These assertions are being made by Libero Milone, a Deloitte auditor. From 2015 until 2017, Milone worked for the Vatican. After years of negligence, the auditor was brought in to help the Vatican get its finances in order.

When Pope Francis was shown proof of cardinals and archbishops embezzling money from dicasteries and putting it in their own pockets, he was overwhelmed, according to top Vatican financial auditor Libero Milone.

The late Pope Francis selected him, but he was compelled to step down after only two years. Senior officials accused Milone of being a spy, which led to his resignation. The auditor revealed significant financial corruption with Vatican roots while he was employed.

Milone persisted in his assertion that he was fired because to evidence of financial wrongdoing that was directly connected to retired cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu. Interestingly, Becciu was convicted of fraud and embezzlement.

After learning that Libero Milone, the auditor-general, had started to unearth potentially embarrassing fiscal anomalies, Cardinal Giovanni Becciu, Deputy Emeritus of the Secretariat of State, postponed an external examination of the Vatican’s finances.

According to a prior story, Milone had bombshell information that he was considering disclosing to bolster his allegations. While working for the Vatican, the auditor supposedly learned a number of things about its finances. According to The Pillar, if Milone’s assertion regarding the skeleton key were accurate, the Vatican would probably wind up on the darkest type of international financial blacklist, shut out of the global banking system.

The worst-case scenario, according to the research, would force the Vatican to rely only on physical currency since no money could enter. In a recent press conference, Milone responded to the publication’s assertions. In an interview with Politico, he stated, “I have a piece of paper which says they can change the transactions they can change the name at any time.” He continued by saying that he had no intention of blackmailing anyone.
