Cardinal Angelo Becciu under investigation with other people for "criminal association" in a line of inquiry opened by the Vatican promoter of justice in parallel with the trial on the management of the funds of the Secretariat of State.
This was confirmed to journalists by the promoter of justice Alessandro Diddi, who, at the opening of the 37th hearing of the trial, reported the outcome of the rogatory letter for the hypothesis of crime of association, in the context of which the Court of Sassari transmitted in Vatican the results of the investigations carried out on the Spes Cooperative of Ozieri, led by Becciu's brother, Antonino.
When questioned by reporters, both Cardinal Becciu and his defenders - Fabio Viglione and Maria Concetta Marzo - said they knew nothing of this additional file.
