Australian authorities have been investigating the suspicious payments, equivalent to about $7.4 million, for several months.

Local media reported last month that investigators had been unable to account for around $1.9 million in transfers from the Vatican to Australia, but that $5.4 million had been identified as being used for legitimate expenses, such as travel, wages, and pension payments.
