The Pope, the banker, the disgraced cardinal and a £300m deal
R affaele Mincione should be a happy man. He has made two serious fortunes in the world of high-risk investment finance, is comfortable with his wealth, effortlessly handsome and blessed with a beautiful wife and two daughters he adores. The Rome-born financier divides his time between Italy, Switzerland, Greece and the United States, but home is London and a sumptuously renovated Knightsbridge house (a townhouse and two mews houses knocked into one), which is elegantly and expensively furnished.
Mincione agrees when I suggest that, having just turned 60, he should be enjoying this good life he has built.
'I thought that by now I would be doing something different, something good for others,' he says. 'Instead, I'm completely bitter about so much about my life that

Taxman begins fraud investigation into HS2
A fraud investigation into HS2 has been started by the taxman over allegations of 'large-scale' financial impropriety. The company responsible for building the high-speed rail line has referred itself to HM Revenue & Customs after completing an internal review into a whistleblower's claim that a subcontractor may have been committing tax fraud. Last month it was revealed that HS2 Ltd was investigating whether a subcontractor working on the project had falsely declared self-employed workers as directly employed staff and charged inflated rates. It was alleged that 'fake payslips' had been submitted to mislead auditors. A firm has been suspended. The investigation is said to focus on two companies that provided employees to Balfour Beatty Vinci, one of HS2's main contractors and a joint venture whose history can be traced back to the construction of the Channel Tunnel more than 30 years ago. A spokesman for the joint venture declined to comment. HS2 has been rocked by long delays, mammoth cost overruns and allegations of chronic mismanagement. This week, the transport secretary, Heidi Alexander, will present the initial findings of an internal review by Mark Wild, who was parachuted in last December as chief executive of HS2 Ltd to try to get the project back on track. The Labour government is overseeing a major 'reset' of the high-speed rail line after its northern leg was scrapped in 2023 by the Conservatives. It is understood that Wild has told Alexander that plans to open the HS2 phase one leg from London to Birmingham by 2033 will not be achieved without a shake-up of the phasing of construction. Wild has not put a date on when he thinks it is feasible to open the line, preferring instead to offer the government a series of options once he has completed a more detailed review. Wild has also not confirmed an updated cost estimate to the transport secretary, sources insisted, despite reports that the bill for finishing the work between Birmingham and Old Oak Common on the outskirts of London had ballooned to £100 billion. Construction at Old Oak Common station BEN WHITLEY A spokesman for HS2 Ltd said: 'We treat all whistleblower allegations seriously and are continuing to conduct our own investigation. Furthermore, HS2 Ltd has formally reported the allegations to HMRC, and we encourage anyone who believes they may have relevant information, which could support our inquiries, to report it in confidence.' 'Mark Wild, our chief executive, has been clear that HS2 faces serious cost and schedule challenges. He is now undertaking a comprehensive review which will report to the government in due course and lead to a full reset of the company and project. This work is yet to be concluded and, given the scale and complexity of HS2, it is vital that Mark is given the time to carry it out properly.' A senior Whitehall source said: 'He [Wild] is looking under the bonnet and is not liking what he is finding,' said a source, adding that Alexander would point to 'ministerial mismanagement', a 'lack of ministerial oversight' and an organisation 'not fit for purpose'.

Ministers to unveil 10-year plan to overhaul UK's ‘crumbling' infrastructure
Ministers are to unveil their plan to overhaul infrastructure over the next decade as Rachel Reeves said the country's schools and hospitals have been 'left to crumble'. The Treasury has promised hundreds of billions over the next decade for projects such as roads, railways and homes. According to the Treasury, the document will lay out Government plans on prioritised policy areas such as upgrading transport networks, building new homes, modernising public services such as hospitals, and assisting the transition to green energy. Ministers are pledging that at least £725 billion will be spent on infrastructure over the next 10 years. Ms Reeves said: 'The British people voted for change – and this is how we deliver it. For too long, our infrastructure – our schools and hospitals, or our roads and bridges – have been left to crumble, holding back communities and stunting economic growth. 'This was a dereliction of duty by previous governments overseeing an era of managed decline, but it ends with this one. 'We are investing in Britain's future, brick by brick, road by road and track by track. 'The strategy will rebuild people's pride in their homes, while growing the economy and putting more money in people's pockets as we deliver our Plan for Change.' The Chancellor outlined a raft of infrastructure investment as part of last week's spending review. According to Wednesday's announcement, there will be £39 billion over the next 10 years to build affordable and social housing, and spending is due to reach £4 billion a year in 2029/30. There was also a £30 billion commitment to nuclear power, including £14.2 billion to build the Sizewell C plant in Suffolk and £2.5 billion in small modular reactors, as well as £15 billion for public transport projects in England's city regions and a four-year settlement for Transport for London worth £2.2 billion. Shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride said that the Chancellor is 'desperately trying to paper over the damage she's done to the public finances'. Sir Mel added: 'With inflation up, growth down, and unemployment rising, the economy is heading in one direction and that is backwards.'
