Legal Action Against the Vatican for Money Laundering by Duplessis Orphan's Lawyer

BREAKING NEWS
The Duplessis Orphans numbered about 20,000 children born to unwed mothers in the 1940s and 1950s, during the time of Quebec premier Marcel Duplessis' provincial reign. Orphanages were converted into asylums as a way to make money since Federal funding was higher on a per-child basis for mental hospitals, and thereby successfully implemented a plan to falsely name orphans "mentally ill".
US lawyer Dr. Jonathan Levy of Washington, DC was the only lawyer that stepped up to take action against Vatican Organization and Government on behalf of these victims.
Today, he is taking action once again, against a corrupt system in another case where money laundering is the issue.

European Commission to Take Legal Action against Vatican in Holocaust Money Laundering Case
Washington DC: When the European Commission referred a long running Holocaust money laundering case against the Vatican Bank to the newly organized Autorità di Informazione Finanziaria, the Vatican agency tasked with anti money laundering, it left open the possibility of legal action by the European Commission against the Vatican.
Now the attorney for over a thousand claimants is asking the European Commission to take action after the Autorità di Informazione Finanziaria deliberately ignored his complaint. Dr. Jonathan Levy is accusing the Vatican of misfeasance and violating European anti money laundering laws. The Vatican is an associate member of the Eurozone (it issues Euros) and part of the European Anti Money Laundering regime through the Vatican Bank and must adhere to certain Directives.
Levy states the Autorità di Informazione Finanziaria is merely continuing a long running fight against an audit of certain accounts at the Vatican Bank belonging to the Franciscan Order and the Diocese of Zagreb. Levy first made his request for an accounting in 1999 and went on to sue the Vatican Bank and Franciscan Order. The case was dismissed in 2010 after a United States appeals court stated it had no jurisdiction.
In correspondence earlier this year from the European Commission, an official indicated the European Commission could institute legal proceedings against the Vatican City State if it violates European anti money laundering Directives. (Benjamin Angel to Jonathan Levy, January 4, 2011).
According to Levy, the Vatican cannot continue to ignore post war money laundering allegations of gold looted from former Yugoslavia: “While we do not dispute the Vatican state answers solely to its God in matters of faith, in matters of finance the laws of Man apply.”
