«The trial demonstrated the complete innocence of Angelo Becciu . As a defense we ask for the cardinal's acquittal with the broadest formula , so as to do justice and restore to him the dignity that has been taken away from him in recent years."
Thus the lawyer Maria Concetta Marzo in her conclusions, also on behalf of her colleague Fabio Viglione , in defense of Monsignor Angelo Becciu in the trial which is nearing its conclusion in the Vatican on the management of the funds of the Secretariat of State and the sale of the Palace of London.
After over 80 hearings and after the defense arguments, next week there will be two hearings for the parties' replies - on Monday 11th December the prosecution and the civil parties, on Tuesday 12th the defense again - and by Saturday 16th the sentence for the prelate of Pattada .
Even the lawyer Massimo Bassi, who defends the administrative office official Fabrizio Tirabassi, has asked for full absolution for his client from all crimes.
