The trial of five people charged in connection with the 1982 murder of Italian banker Roberto Calvi has begun in Rome.
His body was found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge in London.
Italian prosecutors reopened the case in 2002, having ruled out suicide.
They believe a former Sicilian Mafia financier, Pippo Calo, ordered Mr Calvi's murder as punishment for mishandling criminal funds deposited in the Banco Ambrosiano.
Banco Ambrosiano's major stockholder is the Vatican's bank, the Institute for Religious Works.
