At first the amount transferred had shown up in the amount of 800 thousand euros, then it was reckoned at almost 2 million, but in recent days the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Center, the agency that deals with financial crimes, has certified it at 2.3 billion Australian dollars, equivalent to one billion and 400 million euros, transferred from the Vatican to Australia over the last six years in more than 47,000 transactions.
The president of the episcopal conference of Australia, Brisbane archbishop Mark Coleridge, said that the country’s bishops were “astonished at the scale of the transfers” and never knew anything about all this, much less to whom the money was sent and why.
