Vatican City: A Vatican computer technician will go on trial on Monday on charges of helping the pope’s former butler steal papers, in a case that could expose other whistle-blowers within the secretive Holy See.
Claudio Sciarpelletti’s trial follows the conviction of ex-butler Paolo Gabriele, who was sentenced to 18 months in jail last month after he admitted leaking papers alleging corruption and Machiavellian politics in the Vatican.
The 48-year-old technician was arrested on May 25 as the investigation into the leaks unfolded but was released the following day.
