(ANSA) – Rome, June 10 – Two nuns were arrested and a request to arrest a Senator filed Wednesday over the fraudulent bankruptcy of a southern Italian nursing-home chain called Divine Providence.
The case highlighted the progress made by the Vatican Bank towards full transparency of its formerly opaque affairs, investigators said.
“The IOR’s collaboration was precious,” prosecutors told reporters.
An arrest warrant was issued for the Senator from the conservative New Centre Right-Popular Area (NCD-AP) party, Antonio Azzolini, on charges of involvement in the fake crash.
A request for Azzolini’s immunity to be lifted already has been presented to parliament, judicial sources said.
