Vatican scandal, this is how the investigation developed

Wiretapping, forensic analysis of seized devices and testimony. Thus the Office of the Vatican Promoter of Justice, thanks also to the precious contribution of the men of the Gendarmerie, was able to reconstruct the complex picture of the events that unfolded around the purchase by the Secretariat of State of the building on Sloane Avenue in London, which today led to the subpoena for ten people, including the former Substitute, Cardinal Angelo Becciu. A document of nearly 500 pages in which the dynamics that led to investments costing huge losses to Vatican finances are analyzed in detail. Great impetus to the investigation was given by the statements of Msgr. Alberto Perlasca, head of the Administrative Office of the Secretariat of State for 10 years (from 2009 to 2019), who began collaborating with the investigators at the end of August 2020, providing, as stated in the summons, “a precious contribution for the reconstruction of some central moments of the story relating to the London building “. The architect Luciano Capaldo, a former collaborator of Torzi and current manager of the London building, is also judged” an important declaratory source “by the Vatican magistrates, to among other things, he sent a detailed information dossier on the Sloane Avenue building which for the prosecutors of the Holy See “constitutes a precious point of reference, as well as to frame the terms of reference from the economic point of view of the operation, also to shed light on the roles played by Raffaele Mincione and Gianluigi Torzi “.
