http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22924397The IOR is currently seeking recognition from the Council of Europe's anti-money laundering committee, Moneyval, that it is fully compliant with international standards on combating money laundering, tax evasion and terrorist financing.
Last year, Moneyval said the bank was making progress but needed to improve.
The bank's rules for customer due diligence, wire transfers and suspicious-transaction reporting were insufficient, and it needed an independent supervisor, Moneyval added.
Founded in 1942, the bank has 114 employees and $7.1bn of assets.

This remarkable story has now stretched out over far more years than I expected. Evidently the vaults needed a lot of scrubbing.

The difficulties of the Vatican Bank in trying to escape accusations of money laundering ought to excite a little attention even today.

(48,181 posts)This is beyond idiotic, even for you. Are you seriously making a claim that there is no history of repeated corruption at the Vatican bank? Why would you take such a ridiculous position?
