Vatican City (AFP) - A clean-up of the Vatican bank has been completed, with the final tally of suspect accounts that had to be closed nearing 5,000, the Holy See's financial watchdog said Thursday.

IOR account holders in the past have included mafia figures and it became notorious around the world because of a 1980s scandal centred on the death of banker Roberto Calvi, whose corpse was discovered hanging under Blackfriars bridge in London.

The 544 suspect transactions resulted in 17 reports being handed over to Vatican prosecutors, including at least one which included evidence of insider training on a major stock market.

Prosecutors believe Calvi's 1982 death was linked to money laundering via the Vatican bank.
