Politico has published new claims from Libero Milone, a former auditor from Deloitte who was appointed by the Vatican in 2015. Milone alleges that the Vatican’s payroll agency was able to change names and account numbers on transactions after they were processed, allowing funds to be sent to private clients without revealing their identities.
According to Sleuth News, the U.S. intelligence community may have been involved. Sleuth News did not provide evidence to substantiate this claim but linked it to past reporting on Neustar’s role in projects tied to the 2016–2017 investigation.
Sleuth News specializes in deep dives into Russiagate, FOIA litigation, and related political and legal documents.
Vice President Vance told Gateway Pundit Publisher Jim Hoft that investigations related to the 2016 efforts to undermine and subvert Trump’s victory and first term are underway.
Revelations about Russiagate have been spilling out for weeks, even though the mainstream media has refused to cover it. Former CIA Director John Brennan has been caught lying about the releases. Law Prof Jonathan Turley suggests part of the motivation for their silence, is they don’t want to admit the role the media played in the Russiagate hoax against President Trump and his 2016 election victory.
The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway’s summary of the releases so far is that “Democrats should be scared.”
The problems with the media’s multi-year RussiaGate coverage were:
Russian Interference found to be false – Even though the media endlessly reported this alleged fact, the only thing the Russians did in 2016 was buy $100k in inconsequential Facebook ads, and no votes were altered.
Reports of financial irregularities at the Vatican, combined with the related characters involved, indicates that more revelations are forthcoming.
Milone says he was removed from his position after identifying irregularities involving Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu. Vatican officials have said Milone was dismissed because they believed he was acting as a spy.
Milone confirmed his allegations during a press conference and in on-the-record comments to Politico.
Sleuth News has reported that Neustar’s Melbourne office, acquired in 2015, received four transfers totaling $2 million from the Holy See between 2016 and 2017. The outlet said these transfers were not tied to regular business activities.
Australia’s money-tracking agency has copies of the wire transfers, six-figure transfers sent from the Vatican to a U.S. company’s Aussie office in 2016-2017. They won’t show the details publicly, but they’ve confirmed the transfers happened.
Cardinal Becciu, previously prosecuted for money laundering, has said the transfers were linked to “classified” projects. He was later convicted of fraud and embezzlement.
In 2022, Sleuth News sought records from AUSTRAC, Australia’s financial intelligence agency, but was unable to have redactions removed. AUSTRAC stated that Neustar’s “business interests” outweighed the request for disclosure.
The cash transfers don’t make a lot of sense on their face. A tech firm that normally earns money from phone-number databases suddenly got $2 million from the Vatican and then sold the unit at a loss right after, and that timing keeps popping up on auditors’ radar.
Even though direct evidence has not yet shown precisely what is happening here, the RussiaGate revelations are ongoing.
As The Gateway Pundit has reported, there are indications that authorities may still be examining related matters from the 2016 fraud and coup attempt against President Trump. This could include financial transfers and alleged coordination between individuals linked to the Vatican and private companies.
