Obituary: Flavio Carboni, Italian "Mr. Fixit" and Politician's Friend
Sub-headline: Carboni, implicated in the death of Roberto Calvi, passed away at the age of 90.
Paragraph 1:
Flavio Carboni, a key figure in many of Italy's major mysteries, has passed away in Rome. Carboni, who had just turned 90 years old, died of a heart attack in the night.
Paragraph 2:
Carboni was a businessman with close ties to politicians and prelates. He was implicated in the death of Roberto Calvi, the chairman of Banco Ambrosiano who was found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge in London in 1982. Carboni was never charged in connection with Calvi's death, but he remained a suspect in the case.
Paragraph 3:
Carboni was also involved in other high-profile cases, including the collapse of the Banco di Napoli and the bankruptcy of Cirio, a food company. He was convicted of corruption in 1992 and sentenced to six years in prison, but he was released after serving only a portion of his sentence.
