The widow of a former dean of the Vatican diplomatic corps has called on Pope Francis to intervene after she lost her life savings with a fund manager recommended to her by one of the Pope’s chief advisers.

Martha Alegria Reichmann, the widow of Alejandro Valladares who was Honduran ambassador to the Holy See for 22 years, alleges she and her husband were advised in 2012 by Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, the archbishop of Tegucigalpa, to make the investment with London-based investor Youssry Henien. 

But Henien then disappeared with all their life savings.

Is Youssry..pronunced usury?

the certificates of deposit that were supposedly delivered to me from Commerzbank that turned out to be false because that bank never got a cent in our name.

This is more than usury and beyond ‘you pays your money and takes your chances.’ This is fraud. Will the Vatican seek to protect him?
