The Vatican has recalled its envoy to the Dominican Republic and launched an investigation after local media accused him of sexually abusing children.
Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski had been the Apostolic Nuncio in Santo Domingo for nearly six years.
Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi told the Reuters news agency he had been “relieved of his duties” and the Holy See had “begun an investigation”.
Archbishop Wesolowski had been recalled “in the last few weeks”, he added.
But he did not give details about the allegations.
