On a drizzly June morning in 1982, the silhouette of a man was seen hanging partly submerged in the river Thames from the underside of Blackfriars Bridge right in the heart of London’s busy financial district.
Initially this looked like someone had tragically decided to end their own life but on closer inspection, the body held some strange clues to its demise.
Was this man there because he’d decided to kill himself? Or had he been murdered?
Today on macabre London, we uncover the story of Roberto Calvi, God’s Banker.
