Cardinal Keith O’Brien, the disgraced Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh, is facing an investigation into financial mismanagement in his former diocese after a former priest claimed that he had bought a jet ski for a friend.

Cardinal O’Brien stepped down a year ago after three priests and a former priest accused him sexual misconduct.

One of the group is now claiming that the Most Reverend Leo Cushley, the new Archbishop, has agreed to scrutinise financial transactions in the diocese during his predecessor’s tenure.
