A leading Italian Catholic cardinal and an ex-government minister are under investigation for corruption.

Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, the archbishop of Naples, previously ran the department that co-ordinates the Vatican's foreign missions.

He is accused of colluding with Pietro Lunardi, a former transport minister, to offer cut-price property deals.

He says he will co-operate with the investigation despite his immunity as a Vatican diplomatic passport holder.

David Willey reports.
