"Will Kneel ..." Not sings Gianni Morandi but Benedict XVI going thought with Silvio Berlusconi, the man of providence, after reading a certain relationship almost falls unconscious to the ground " providence " leaves me and frankly let's face it, how the hell will you pay that billion dollars? To have a sick imagination, visionary assumed that the reprimand made Silvio for his Bunga Bunga contains a sequel, so to speak, a secret hope, a hidden desire, a thinly-veiled ... cry that the man of providence will not fail to listen to (when needed) as soon as the waters have calmed down, he'll see a from providing a soil improver a small patch here and there to blow out the Vatican for some small economy such can bring relief to the crack era in which it is made to drag the Church, the irony of fate Slovenian TV of the church that opened the hole in the Vatican's finances sent porn movies and among them a daring local production lauded the "Bunga Bunga " Italian!"
Toh, the Church has cracked
Emiliano Fittipaldi L'Espresso. it A Slovenian diocese has created a hole for a one billion euro. That the Vatican does not know how to repay. An incredible story of bad investments that angered Ratzinger
There is a small diocese that has taken away a few weeks to sleep on the nights of Pope Benedict XVI. A church that holds a secret that could overwhelm the Vatican. This time it's not the American or the Irish curia, involved in scandals of pedophile priests. Neither the Italian clergy, ended up in the investigations of judges on the "clique" led by Angelo Balducci and the alleged money laundering of the IOR discovered by Bank of Italy. The basilica anguish that Joseph Ratzinger and his trusted men, Tarcisio Bertone at all, is to Maribor, a town in northern Slovenia known to host a race in the World Cup slalom ski. The city may now become famous for one of the worst financial crash in the history of the Church, the Archdiocese, as well as to feed the souls of just over 100 thousand faithful, has in fact launched in recent years in investment at least reckless. Has been the incompetence of the bishop (removed recently), the global economic crisis has been coupled with some bad luck, the fact is that the church and the companies she controlled were able to accumulate the tune of over € 800 million in debt. A hole monstrous that no one is currently able to cover: red is equal to 2 per cent of gross domestic product of Slovenia and, to make a comparison, is about three times the revenue recorded in the last budget of the Vatican.
The default is therefore very likely, and would have few precedents in the history of the Holy See. Many people tremble, Rome and Ljubljana since exposure weighs on various banks, including Unicredit, and about 30 000 savers Slovenia.
But how was it possible that a small archdiocese has accumulated debts worth about twenty years of a multinational? "The Express" has seen confidential documents and spoke with authoritative sources in Slovenia, which simply define the situation "catastrophic." First things first, starting from the end. Since St. Peter they perceive the enormity of the swelling caused by the financial adventures of Bishop Franc Kramberger. The discovery comes almost by accident, when in 2007 a television controlled by the Slovenian Church begins to transmit porn. Pandemonium broke out in local newspapers. In Rome are concerned, because in those days, the Bishop of Maribor sends the Vatican a strange request: he wants to be allowed to open two loans of 5 million euro each.
competent hierarchies begin to smell something burning, I inquire to the Apostolic Nuncio to Slovenia. The ambassador of the Pope understands that hard behind the movies that the TV of the priests used to beat the competition there is another, someone starts whispering and exposure millionaire investments crazy. Archbishop Mauro Piacenza, then secretary of the Congregation for the Clergy, it begins to seek more detailed information to the diocese.
Before the communications company T-2, that controls the TV, then on all accounts and the various holding company controlled by the diocese. The answers come after months and incomprehensible omission: Piacenza feel so Bertone and the Pope decides to send a unit trust in Maribor to study the cards closely. Gianluca Piredda, budget experts, arrived in Slovenia in early 2010 with the title of "apostolic visitor". It takes little to understand that the archdiocese is the failure of biblical proportions. Its findings are sent in a report to Rome last October. "The Express" is able to reveal the contents.
The small church has bitten off more than you can chew, creating a large business empire that now teeters. The adventure starts at the beginning of the nineties, when the diocese of Maribor is the bank Krek (in ten years became the tenth institution in the country, is sold in 2002) and a commercial company (the Gospodarstvo Rast). Skip a few years, and these are the two holding companies for investments and assorted business, the Zvon Zvon 1 and 2, in turn controlled by the Rast.
