Roberto Calvi, a man guarding a dangerous secret about the Vatican Bank’s criminal activities, sends a threatening letter to the Pope. A week later on June 17th, 1982 he’s found dead hanging from a bridge in London. British police call it suicide, but questions and conspiracies swirl. Forty years on, lawyer Nicolo Majnoni gets a tip there might be more to the story and embarks on a quest to uncover the truth. Was Roberto Calvi, aka God’s Banker, killed? And if so, by whom?
Shadow Kingdom: God’s Banker is a production of Campside Media and Crooked Media. Each season starts with a crime, and as the layers are peeled back to find out who or what is at the center of it, a larger system at play is revealed.
You can also listen to Shadow Kingdom in Italian! It’s full of original reporting in Italian, with unabridged versions of interviews with Italian guests. We’re really excited to tell the story in it’s native tongue, you can find it here at "Il Banchiere di Dio” or wherever you get your podcasts.
