Consulates and the Vatican in chaos as HSBC tells them to find another bank

Diplomats in London have been thrown into chaos after Britain’s biggest bank, HSBC,
got rid of them as customers and gave them 60 days to move their accounts.

Their situation has been made far worse because other banks have been closing ranks
and refusing to take their business.

More than 40 embassies, consulates and High Commissions have been affected. Even the
Vatican has been given its marching orders.

The Pope’s representative office in Britain, the Apostolic Nunciature, has banked with HSBC
for many years but was told to find another bank.

Havoc: HSBC's decision to sack embassies as customers
has caused chaos also because other banks refused to take their business

One diplomatic source said he believed HSBC feared
being exposed to embassies after it was fined
2billion (£1.32billion) by US authorities last year.

梵蒂岡疑被匯豐要求取消戶口【新聞片段】

消息指梵蒂岡有份被匯豐銀行要求取消戶口，梵蒂岡一直受洗黑錢醜聞困擾，除了梵蒂岡銀行被批評，容易被利用來洗黑錢之外就連該名神聖國度的官員亦因為涉嫌洗黑錢被捕。

梵蒂岡最大宗洗黑錢醜聞是梵蒂岡銀行總裁及其副手在二零一零年簽核一筆來歷不明的三千萬美元，由一間意大利借貸銀行轉移至摩根大通等其他銀行，該筆可疑交易一度被凍結。

意大利傳媒最近披露調查內容，檢察官認為梵蒂岡銀行對客戶身份查核不足，而且容許客戶代人轉帳巨款，認為這樣運作很易被利用來掩護非法交易，成為洗黑錢渠道。

意大利央行今年元旦起暫停為梵蒂岡商戶提供信用卡服務，就是因為梵蒂岡銀行未有嚴格防止洗黑錢，部份信用卡服務到上月才恢復。

教廷官員亦被指有害群之馬，梵蒂岡財產管理局前高級會計斯卡拉諾涉嫌與其他人策劃，由瑞士偷運二千萬歐元現鈔到意大利，六月被意大利警方拘捕，他亦經常透過梵蒂岡銀行的戶口轉移大筆款項，並為此請求銀行正副總裁批准。

斯卡拉諾接受調查後，教廷便將他停職，而為了切實改革銀行事務，教宗方濟各已在六月中成立委員會，檢視梵蒂岡銀行營運情況，包括管理教會財產的狀況，直接向教宗匯報，梵蒂岡銀行正副總裁則在委員會籌組後宣佈辭職，梵蒂岡最近亦與意大利簽協議，盡可能分享涉及洗黑錢，以及恐怖活動的交易訊息。
