When Roman Catholic Bishop Joseph Galante decided to put a North Wildwood townhome up for sale in 2006, the head of the Camden diocese dropped it into conversations he had with a jet-setting Italian developer.

Diocese officials now confirm the property was sold to that businessman, Raffaello Follieri, who headed the New York-based Follieri Group that acquired former church properties for development.

Follieri was charged last month with money laundering and wire fraud.
