CNN reports that Italian authorities are investigating the Vatican Bank for possible money laundering.
Another Italian bank alerted the Bank of Italy to two Vatican Bank transactions that did not appear to comply with anti-money laundering requirements, which require detailed information about transfers. The Vatican Bank's lack of information on the two transactions--one for 20 million euros (about $26 million) and one for 3 million euros (about $4 million)--was enough to get it suspended automatically.
The Vatican said Tuesday it is "perplexed and baffled" by the public prosecutor's actions and said the Holy See aims for "complete transparency" in its financial operations. The Vatican also said it has "full trust" in head of the bank, Ettore Tedeschi.
