The Vatican may extend its probe of suspicious bank transactions to people beyond Nunzio Scarano, the prelate arrested last month by Italian authorities on charges of fraud and corruption, Ansa reported.

The Vatican froze Scarano’s funds at its bank, known as the Institute for Works of Religion, or IOR, Ansa reported, citing Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi.

Scarano has denied accusations against him.
