The Order of Malta's Grand Master fired his chancellor in 2016, the Pope forced the Grand Master out, and a 30-million-franc gift from a Geneva trust sat behind the fight

In December 2016 Grand Master Fra' Matthew Festing dismissed the Order's Grand Chancellor, Albrecht von Boeselager, after reports that the Order's charity had distributed condoms in Myanmar. Boeselager had refused an order to resign. Pope Francis named a commission. On 14 January 2017 Festing wrote that three of its five members had ties to a Geneva fund in which the Order had a stake. The fund was the Caritas Pro Vitae Gradu trust, about 120 million Swiss francs left by a donor known only as Mr. Latour, which owed the Order a quarter. Geneva prosecutors had frozen the money at the Order's request to examine the trustee. After meeting the Pope on 24 January 2017, Festing resigned at his request. The Order then reinstated Boeselager. On 1 March Boeselager signed an agreement with the trustee under which the Order would draw 30 million francs over seven years; it had received 3 million by mid-March. The Order called it its largest cash gift in ten years and said lawyers had found the trust clean. Festing died on 12 November 2021, days after the Pope gave Cardinal Silvano Tomasi full powers to reform the Order.
