He was a native of [[Milan]] and was chairman of [[Banco Ambrosiano]], which collapsed in one of Italy's biggest political scandals. Calvi's death by hanging in London in June 1982 is a source of enduring controversy and was ruled a murder after two [[coroner's inquest|coroners' inquests]] and an independent investigation. Five people were acquitted in Rome in June 2007 of conspiracy to murder Roberto Calvi. Popular suspicion has linked his death to allegedly corrupt officials of the [[Vatican Bank]], the [[Sicilian Mafia]], and the [[Continental Freemasonry]] lodge [[Propaganda Due]].
