The Vatican must "deliver real results" from its investigations into money-laundering, the Council of Europe's financial agency has said.

In its latest report, Moneyval said the Vatican had improved its financial management and its bank had shut down almost 5,000 suspicious accounts.

Vatican prosecutors had frozen about €11m ($12m;£8m) and 29 money-laundering investigations had been launched.

Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man - not to mention the City (London financial district) and the many billions in heroin money sloshing through every year.

What's good for the goose.
