Politico has unveiled fresh allegations from Libero Milone, a former auditor with Deloitte who was brought on by the Vatican in 2015. Milone claims that the Vatican’s payroll agency had the capability to alter names and account numbers on transactions after they were completed, enabling funds to be redirected to private clients while keeping their identities under wraps.
Sleuth News reports that the U.S. intelligence community might have played a role in these dealings. While they did not provide direct evidence to back this assertion, they referenced past reporting regarding Neustar’s involvement during the investigations from 2016 to 2017.

Vice President Vance informed Gateway Pundit Publisher Jim Hoft that investigations into the 2016 efforts to undermine and subvert Trump’s electoral victory and subsequent presidency are ongoing.
In recent weeks, a flood of revelations regarding Russiagate has surfaced, despite mainstream media’s conspicuous avoidance of the topic. Former CIA Director John Brennan has faced accusations of dishonesty related to these disclosures. Law Professor Jonathan Turley posits that this media silence may stem from a reluctance to acknowledge its own complicity in the Russiagate narrative that sought to delegitimize Trump’s ascension to power.
Summarizing the current situation, The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway warns, “Democrats should be scared.”
The issues plaguing the media’s extensive coverage of Russiagate can be distilled into several key points:
-
Dubious Steele source – The paid Clinton operative produced a fabricated ‘dossier’ rife with unverifiable claims, many of which were patently false.
-
FISA warrants – The DOJ misled on applications for secret warrants, yet judges approved them regardless.
-
Lack of collusion evidence – The Mueller investigation, spanning from 2017 to 2019, concluded with zero conspiracy charges and a complete absence of substantive evidence.
-
Campaign opposition ≠ collusion – While the campaign did meet with figures linked to the Kremlin, no exchanges of value occurred.
-
Obstruction claims – Trump’s firing of Comey was both legal and justified; subsequent revelations have painted Comey as a dishonest and unprofessional actor within the so-called deep state.
-
Media coverage tally – Over 533,000 “Russia!” stories proliferated from mainstream media, perpetuating this ‘big lie.’ When the narrative was debunked, the media systematically underreported the corrections.
-
Senate review findings – Identified “serious procedural lapses” with no findings of collusion.
- Claims of Russian interference found to be exaggerated – Despite rampant media coverage asserting otherwise, the only verifiable action taken by Russian operatives in 2016 was a modest $100,000 spent on trivial Facebook ads, which did not alter any votes.
As reports of financial irregularities at the Vatican surface, it appears further revelations are on the horizon.
Milone asserts he was ousted from his role after uncovering irregularities tied to Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu. Vatican officials, however, claim Milone was dismissed under suspicions of espionage.
During a press conference and in comments to Politico, Milone reaffirmed his allegations.
Sleuth News has disclosed that Neustar’s Melbourne office, which was acquired in 2015, received four wire transfers amounting to $2 million from the Holy See between 2016 and 2017. These transactions were reportedly not linked to regular business operations.
Australia’s financial tracking agency has copies of the wire transfers—six-figure amounts sent from the Vatican to a U.S. company’s Australian office during 2016-2017. While they have refrained from publicly disclosing the details, they have confirmed the transfers did occur.
Cardinal Becciu, who has faced prosecution for money laundering, contends that these transfers were associated with “classified” projects. He was later found guilty of fraud and embezzlement.
In 2022, Sleuth News attempted to obtain records from AUSTRAC, Australia’s financial intelligence agency, but faced challenges in getting redactions lifted. AUSTRAC maintained that Neustar’s “business interests” took precedence over the request for full disclosure.
On the surface, these cash transfers raise more questions than answers. A tech firm, typically profiting from phone-number databases, suddenly received $2 million from the Vatican and subsequently sold a unit at a loss soon after—this timing is certainly raising eyebrows among auditors.
While direct evidence detailing the complexities of these financial maneuvers remains elusive, the ongoing revelations surrounding Russiagate continue to unfold.
As reported by , there are indications that authorities may still be probing related issues from the 2016 election fraud and coup attempt against Trump. This inquiry may encompass financial transfers and alleged collusion between individuals connected to the Vatican and private enterprises.
