Warning: Some readers may find the following content distressing.
Italian cardinal Angelo Becciu was found guilty of financial crimes.
The more I told him I wasn’t interested, the worse he behaved – until eventually he got angry.
A Vatican tribunal on Saturday convicted a cardinal of embezzlement and sentenced him to 5 ½ years in prison in one of several verdicts handed down in a complicated financial trial that aired the city state’s dirty laundry and tested its justice system.
This is what life is like on board the ship.
“This is the first cardinal to be prosecuted in a Vatican criminal court”, said FRANCE 24’s correspondent in Rome, Italy, Seema Gupta.” Cardinal Angelo Becciu is the most senior Vatican official to face such charges; “the 75-year-old cardinal was a former advisor to Pope Francis, so he was somebody who would meet with the pope and he was seen as a papal contender”.
Children are amongst those presumed dead.
