Vatican bank chief sacked amid money laundering probe

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Vatican has said the head of its bank, who is being investigated in a money laundering case, has been ousted after receiving a unanimous vote of no-confidence from bank overseers, Belfast Telegraph reported.

Ettore Gotti Tedeschi has been a polarising figure in the Vatican.

On May 25 the Holy See said the vote was taken because of Mr Tedeschi's failure to fulfil the "primary functions of his office".
