Vatican scandal, magistrates: “Becciu interfered in investigations before he was even involved”

Cardinal Angelo Becciu, former Substitute of the Secretariat of State, according to what the Office of the Vatican Promoter of Justice writes in the request for summons, would have interfered in the criminal proceedings even before being involved. In support of this hypothesis, the papers report a text message from Becciu to the then Vatican finance manager, Enrico Crasso, dating back to January 23, 2020: “At the right moment – writes the cardinal – it will be necessary to carry out a good press campaign !! do it now. Ask your lawyer if you need to make a mistake about our magistrates right away! “.
