The new Vatican spies book, by iPhone Dywell, reveals an unusual spying story that includes Queen Elizabeth I, Cold War, Mafia, KGB, CIA and MI6, as well as amazing financial scandals and cold blood.
The mysterious body appeared to the light for the first time in the wake of a dual murder in the Vatican – when IPhone Bertorilo, a young priest, claimed that there is a “state inside the state …”. . . To destabilize communist regimes. ”
He said: “Diplomacy was often used as a cover. In fact, it was a network of intelligence agents.
“Some of them may have used the cloak, but they were not in the priesthood.”
This will become one of the most famous Vatican scandals, but, like the devil himself, his secret intelligence arm had many names over the years.
It comes under the umbrella of the secretariat of the state, which is based in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican city.
A major scandal
It is the administrative body of the Catholic Church, and includes various branches – including the famous Swiss Guard known as its official and elaborate uniform, and the Vatican Police Force called Veglianza or the Gendarmerie.
Inside Vigilanza, which mostly Italian police and intelligence agents work, there are secret service units that eavesdrop on phone lines, mail and suspects monitor.
There are about 120 officers, including civil clothing investigators and direct protection officers Functions It is to make sure that the Pope remains safe, at least after his assassination attempts in the past.
However, the origins of this secret body can be returned to the battle of the Catholic Church with the Protestant England in the sixteenth century, in particular, Queen Elizabeth I.

The Pope police, who were mostly recruited from retired Italian officers, allowed the fascist police to reach the special places for foreign ambassadors in the Vatican to steal their secrets. In 1929, the Vatican concluded a deal with the Mussolini government, which included the creation of networks designed to penetrate the Soviet Union.
The fall of communism has become the primary goal of the church until the 1990s, and witnessed the construction of alliances with many Western intelligence services, including the CIA, British intelligence MI6 and French intelligence.
This has become increasingly important, when the Americans and the British realized that they were often “blind” in the Soviet Union, which was mercilessly expelled spying networks and monitored Western diplomats.
The Holy See began to play a greater role than ever with the outbreak of the Cold War after World War II.
Western powers realized that in the church an informal network of information thanks to local priests.
They will collect reports on local social, economic and political image in their dioceses, which will be finally nominated to the Secretariat of the Vatican State.
In 1930, the ambitious Vatican official, Eugenio Batchelli, became a foreign minister and established what became known as Rossikum, to resist the Communist repression of the Soviet Union.
With the passage of time, this will take an extraordinary turn after Nazism Germany and Japan It has been defeated and a new cold war will appear.
In 1949, an American military plane took off from the West Germany He was holding two anti -Communist resistance members and two unknown men, all of them with umbrellas.
After traveling to the east Germany Poland, the plane landed over Ukraine at a height of 650 feet before men jumped from it.
It is striking that the two unknown persons were Catholic Catholics, which is part of the Russian program that trained priests on “wrestling, athletics, open fighting, firearm training and …”. . . Parachis jumping. “
to the next Five years later, dozens of priests were moved, thanks to the training of the CIA and the British intelligence agency MI6, into the country Ukraine that way.

Thomas Torovsky, a former spy turned into a Polish ambassador
But in 1954 the program ended when it was found that the Soviets were collecting these agents with a heavy rate.
Meanwhile, the pole, Carroll Voetella, who later became Pope John Paul II, was trained in complete secrecy in the Communist Church. Poland.
When he became the first non -Italian door in 450 years in 1978, his goal was communism. He immediately strengthened Vigilanza and inside it was a special secret unit that carried out black operations.
The Pope will become the same in an increasing confrontation with the Polish regime.
Long after that, Thomas Torovsky, the former spy who turned into a Polish ambassador, indicated that during the reign of John Paul, “the number of spies in the Vatican was greater than the number of spies in James Bond films.”
He added: “One priest named the symbolic Rossi and he was transferring news To Polish services, he worked until recently in the Vatican for Pope Francis. ”
John Paul II’s reign was the paradise of spying because it combined an unexplained mix of murder, mafia, financial scandals and secret Catholic orders, as well as the Cold War.
In 1998, Alois Estman, head of the Swiss Guard, and his wife Glades Romero were found shot in their apartment in the Vatican, along with the body of a Swiss goalkeeper named Cedric Torni.
It was claimed that Estman was a spy from East Germany and was in love with a bilateral Torni before the couple separated sharply.
The Vatican rejected the Italian police assistance and kept the investigation internally. While the young victim’s family was convinced to cover up.
However, Torni’s mother said that she had met the amount of violations Berutorilo near the coffin of her deceased son, and that the murder was “all his mistake …”. . . He even said that my son was killed. ”
She claimed that Bertorilo claimed that the dead goalkeeper was investigating Estman’s secrets with the secret Obus Day sect, which has long been seen as a malicious effect inside the church.
Later, Bertorilo told an Italian journalist, using a pseudonym, that the Vatican created, during the reign of John Paul II, a “closed network” of cells around the world, consisting of intelligence agents.
He said that these were recruited from priests, universities, or paramilitary organizations.
Bertorilo said he underwent four years of training as part of this network – during which he learned symbols and blades by a Polish priest, and secret photography by an Italian priest, while the Italian army trained him to jump with umbrellas.
The message was that the James Bond network in the Vatican was not shaken and was not affected by the end of the war.
