July 12, 2012. (Romereports.com) The Pope’s butler, Paolo Gabriele, will remain in in a jail cell for roughly another ten days. This despite the fact that this Thursday, it will be 50 days since he was arrested for possession of confidential documents.

“The judge believes that the information gathering phase should end. In the meantime, things still need to be sorted out, so there will be an extension and he will remain in custody for more days, even though the 50 day period has already passed.”
During this extension period the investigation on the confiscated Papal documents will be completed. Then, more people will be interviewed, and that includes questioning the Pope’s butler once again.

“The formal questioning will be the last part of the investigation stage and is expected to be completed in about 10 days.”
