Police seize Â£25m from Vatican bank

Italian authorities have seized Â£25 million from a Vatican bank account and said they have opened an investigation into top officials of the Vatican bank in connection with a money-laundering probe.

The Vatican said it was "perplexed and surprised" by the investigation.

The probe is not the first time the bank - formally known as the Institute for Works of Religion - has faced trouble. In the 1980s, it was involved in a major scandal that resulted in a banker, dubbed "God's Banker" because of his close ties to the Vatican, being found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge in London. ...

Apparently, the Vatican is again perplexed over the Seven Deadly Sins, wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.

By the way, the director of the bank was an opus di member The Rising Spectre of Opus Dei
