Defence lawyers say Calvi's death was suicide
Defence lawyers cited forensic reports today to argue that suicide, not murder, was the real cause of the 1982 death of the Italian financier known as “God’s banker” because of his close ties to the Vatican.
Five people, including a convicted Mafia figure, went on trial last month for the murder of Roberto Calvi, whose body was found hanging from scaffolding under London’s Blackfriars Bridge on June 18, 1982, with rocks and cash stuffed into his suit.
