Willen gave me recordings of interviews where he'd ask the Grand Master about the mafia, politics, dirty banking, whatever he could find evidence on.

At one point, Jelly vaguely suggests that the U.S. government supported P2's anti-communist efforts. And when Philip Willen found the bank transfer information, possibly, allegedly, showing Jelly's involvement in funding the Bologna bombing, he took his chance to ask Jelly about it.

Willen has video of this exchange. Gelli took the quickest glance at the document Willem showed him, seemed to recognize what it was, and quickly looked away, refusing to engage.

In earlier interviews with Willen, Jelly had no qualms about lying about other documents and sketchy bank transfers. He was happy to throw other people under the bus, especially as he got older and bored. But this covert receipt, Jelly would barely look at it. He wouldn't touch it. And he didn't even try to provide an excuse for what it could be.

According to Willen, Jelly said his lawyers told him not to talk about the document. Also, in the same interview, Willen pressed Gelli about Marco Cerruti, who handled the money.

Lito Gelli died several years ago, as did Carboni. Same with Calvi's underlings, his wife, and his Vatican counterparts. Cerruti was called to testify about P2, but he fled to Brazil. I've tried countless ways to get in touch with him. No response.

As Niccolo the lawyer, I will say Cerruti has denied any wrongdoing, and there's no outstanding charge or conviction of a crime in connection with that money. So this is where the trail ends for me, at the answering machine of Marco Terutti. where years of interviews and collected evidence have led me, a point where the asphalt road dissolves into dirt.

But deep in those conspiratorial back roads, I see the picture emerge, a picture sketched by Carlo and the Bologna theory, that Calvi's murder was organized by Pichu, by Lisogeli, and his men because Pichu was worried about how much Calvi knew about the bombing and their involvement. Quite literally, he may have had the receipts.
