Opus Dei financier cut up with chainsaw and left under a bridge. A strange reflection of the death of 'God's Banker'?

Secretive Opus Dei honours banker who was cut up with a chainsaw
John Follain



OPUS DEI, the conservative Catholic organisation, has paid a rare and fulsome tribute to Gianmario Roveraro, an Italian banker who was found murdered last week, chopped into pieces beneath a motorway bridge.
The statement is as close as the group’s secretive policy allows to admitting that the pious financier was a member of the movement.



The kidnapping of Roveraro, whose remains were found on Friday after he was cut up with a chainsaw, has intensified the scrutiny of Opus Dei and echoed a scandal over the 1982 murder of Roberto Calvi, “God’s Banker”, who was found dead under Blackfriars Bridge in London. Calvi had had links to Opus Dei and was allegedly killed by the Sicilian mafia.

3. Ya know, as soon as I read this headline, I thought Sicilian mafia!
My son lives in Sicily, and that sure sounds like their MO!

He told me they never bother anyone who doesn't bother them, but don't get involved with them! They NEVER take no as an answer, and won't let you out either!

5. Noone to mess with, that's for sure!
My grandparents moved here from Calabria to get away from them 100 years ago.
Also, grandpa wanted to be a Cowboy!
