An Italian cardinal has donated €150,000 (£109,000) to a Catholic charity which allegedly footed the bill for renovations to his luxury flat.
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone was donating the money for medical research “to make amends”, said Mariella Enoc, head of the Bambino Gesu Hospital.
Cardinal Bertone said he had paid for the work on his residence himself.
However, documents leaked to reporters earlier this year allege the €200,000 came from the Bambino Gesu Foundation.
The foundation collects donations for a children’s hospital in Rome.
