The Bahamas government has failed to co-operate with an investigation into the whereabouts of hundreds of millions of dollars linked to one of the biggest bank scandals in history, according to foreign news reports.
The collapse of Banco Ambrosiano in the early 1980s is a tale of murder, Mafia plots, international money laundering schemes and clandestine Masonic sects.
The Bahamas branch of the bank, Banco Ambrosiano Overseas Limited, was at the very centre of the scandal – yet according to the press in Italy and the UK, requests for help from local authorities have fallen on deaf ears.
