After investigations of the alleged criminal management of Vatican assets, including donations by countless Catholics, a trial was opened in Vatican City for 10 defendants, including a cardinal, on Tuesday.
According to Fox News, the 73-year-old, Cardinal Angelo Becciu, was the most senior cleric in modern times to face trial for the alleged financial crimes. Becciu was charged with spending more than €350M or $412M of church money. The said fraud case focused on the botched deal of buying a property in Chelsea that incurred huge losses for the Vatican.
