Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Marogna, 46, received 575,000 euros from the Secretariat of State in 2018-2019.
54% : It revolved mostly around the purchase of a building in London by the secretariat of state, the Vatican's key administrative and diplomatic department.
53% : In 2018, with Becciu in another Vatican job, the secretariat of state felt it was being deceived by Mincione and turned to another financier, Gianluigi Torzi, for help in squeezing Mincione out and buying the rest of the building.
49% : The court said Becciu had been irresponsible and "highly speculative" to invest more than $200 million with Mincione's fund between 2013-2014, noting this was about a third of the holdings of the Secretariat of State at the time.
44% : Enrico Crasso, a banker who managed funds for the Secretariat of State, was convicted of money laundering and sentenced to seven years.
