Former papal butler and Vatileaks whistleblower, Paolo Gabriele, has said the Pope was not informed enough about important issues. Gabriele also claims inhumane detainment conditions, which has prompted an investigation.
During the second day of his trial, former papal butler Paolo Gabriele said he did not have any direct accomplices but was influenced by others and by widespread malaise in the Vatican.
Gabriele is on trial for allegedly stealing papal documents indicating corruption in the Vatican and leaking them to the media.
Gabriele also told the court on Tuesday that Pope Benedict XVI was “easy to manipulate” and did not know enough about Vatican affairs.
