ROME, July 15 (Reuters) - Prosecutors allege two former top executives at the Vatican bank repeatedly broke Italian laws on money laundering by failing to give sufficient information when ordering multi-million-euro bank transfers, according to judicial documents seen by Reuters.

While the prosecutors stopped short of accusing two men who were until recently the top officials at the Vatican bank of money laundering, they said confusion over the handling of IOR accounts had created the conditions where it could take place.

Pope Francis ought to simply close this turkey. It's not that it can't be temporarily set straight, it's just that it can't be kept permanently legit. Close it down and put your funds in a nice Swiss bank.
