On 8 May 1981, an investigation was opened and on 21 May 1981<br />

the government made public the P2 membership list. <strong>The</strong>re were<br />

members <strong>of</strong> the cabinet (Minister <strong>of</strong> Justice Adolfo Sarti, Giulio<br />

Andreotti, prime minister 1972-73 and 1976-1979), and 43 members<br />

<strong>of</strong> parliament among others. Andreotti again became prime minister<br />

in 1989 as though nothing had happened. He was also a member <strong>of</strong><br />

the Prieure de Sion (Baigent, Leigh & Lincoln, "<strong>The</strong> Messianic<br />

Legacy". London, 1986. p. 426).<br />

<strong>The</strong> Italian government under Prime Minister Arnaldo Forlani fell,<br />

however, on 25 May 1981. <strong>The</strong> scandal almost led to the dissolution<br />

<strong>of</strong> NATO.<br />

On 9 June 1981, there was a new search at the headquarters <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> CIA made sure that P2 started to function again. Armando<br />

Corono, who was Spadolini's closest associate, on 27 March 1982,<br />

became the new grand master, while in Gelli's absence. <strong>The</strong> masonic<br />

elite was in great need <strong>of</strong> such subversive lodges.<br />

On 2 July 1990, the former CIA and Mossad agent Richard Bren-<br />

neke was interviewed by Italian TV. He told the following: "I have<br />

known P2 since 1969 and I had deals with P2 in Europe since that time<br />

and I had contact with it also recently, till the beginning <strong>of</strong> the 1980s.<br />

<strong>The</strong> US government sent money to P2. In some periods the sum was<br />

about 1 -10 million a month...<br />

<strong>The</strong> CIA money for P2 had several aims. One <strong>of</strong> them was terrorism.<br />
