- Vatican lawyers, including Pope Benedict's personal attorney,
recently argued that genocide committed in Croatia during the Second World
War by a Nazi regime with complicity by the Papacy was permissible under
international law.
-
- The outrageous argument was part of a motion in the ongoing
lawsuit of Alperin v. Vatican Bank set for a hearing in November in Federal
Court in San Francisco.
-
- Vatican attorneys are seeking a dismissal, saying the
Vatican Bank is immune because the Nazi backed Croatian regime did not
violate international law by slaughtering 500,000 of its own citizens -
Serbs, Jews, and Roman in an ethnic cleansing campaign.
-
- "The Vatican Bank stands accused of the post war
laundering of the profits of genocide, including dental gold taken from
the victims of the Nazi backed Croatian regime known as the Ustasha,"
said Jonathan Levy, attorney for the victims.
-
- "We are outraged that the Vatican Bank suggests
that genocide and plunder are permissible acts under international law."
