murder of "God's Banker" Roberto Calvi, after 22 years of "it was suicide" stories after the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano.
The Rome trial was adjourned in April this year after City of London police found 70 boxes of new, previously undisclosed evidence about the notorious P2 Lodge (a pedophile cult gang linked to Freemasonry).
Poppy did a deal in the 1960s with Gelli which let the P2 Lodge off the hook for a huge backlog of terror related crimes and eventually resulted in the Mafia robbing their own bank, Ambrosiano.
A turf war ensued and in June 1982 Calvi, managing director of Ambrosiano, was found hanged under lackfriars Bridge in London.
Gelli and three accomplices were charges late last year and the Rome trial began in early 2004.
Poppy must have been feeling pretty uneasy when this occured.
But life is about to take an even more unpleasant turn for him:
Gelli has a son in the UK, Henri, who was given a fake ID over 40 years ago when Poppy did a deal with MI6 to cover up sex crimes in the UK perpetrated by a small but nasty bunch of GIs stationed there.
Henri Gelli is a gangster and former IRA quartermaster, in charge of money laundering and recruitment of South American and Middle Eastern terror-related gangs.
After Calvi's murder in 1982, the Mafia turf was escalated.
Henri Gelli had a daughter in the UK with a woman who in the 1980s became a high profile career politican's wife. That daughter was given top notch references by various Tory Party members and got a job in MI5, the intelligence service.
Posing as an estate agent, she made contacts with various IRA-type sympathisers involved in property fraud and money laundering.
She was Suzy Lamplugh:
REAL NAME MARIA GELLI.
However, when she first joined MI5 she was under surveliiance after UK Special Branch police learned she had been paid to find out what MI5 held on Poppy, his links with foreign organised crimes networks, recruitment of non-Christian terrorists and US-based financiers of terrorism. Also to discover what security/intelligence there might be about Junior and his link to what is euphemistically now called Al Qaeda - a loose term made up by the CIA after 9-11 to band together Muslim extremists involved in extortion, racketeering and terror.
Lamplugh "disappeared" in the Shorrolds Road area of Fulham, South West London on 28 July 1986 and despite a protracted police investigation (which initially focused on killer John Cannan) the matter was never fully resolved. Officially.
Today, the City of London police are close to arresting Lamplugh's killer, who is believed to be a close male relative of Margaret Thatcher, and was contracted to kill Lamplugh after she started talking about her work with MI5.
The prime suspect is also closely related to Cherie Blair and was involved in a massive property theft and money laundering scam with her during the early 1980s.
What does this have to do with slimeball Poppy? Licio Gelli, his son Henri and grand daughter Maria (Lamplugh) were all working for the KGB and UK police now have evidence to show that Poppy arranged their cover with the CIA after doing a deal with the Stasi head Marcus Wolf.
Also of note, Gelli is listed as being a director of BCCI Holdings, the parent company of BCCI collapsed bank, along with ex-CIA head Richard McGarrach Helms and mega UK crook Robert Maxwell.
The BCCI class action in London will be hearing evidence gagged by the UK security/intelligence services since the 1990-1 collapse of BCCI. This has been subpoenaed after a bitter and protracted fight which the Law Lords ruled last year was not protecting UK security interests but rather the political careers of Thatcher, Major and noiw Blair...........
Slimeball, indeed. Eat you heart out, BFEE......Gelli babies all love Poppy...
