Canadian authorities did not request the extradition of a Vatican diplomat who has been charged by police in Canada of accessing, possessing and distributing child pornography, a Vatican spokesman said.
“No request for extradition has come from Canada and no trial has been set at the Vatican” for the diplomat, Mgr Carlo Capella, who had been working in the United States, said Greg Burke, Vatican spokesman.
The Vatican investigation “requires international collaboration, and it has not ended yet,” he added.
The Italian monsignor, who had been working at the Vatican nunciature in Washington, was first recalled to the Vatican after the U.S. State Department notified the Holy See in August of his possible violation of laws relating to child pornography images.
