The Vatican said on Saturday a monsignor who was a former adviser at its US embassy in Washington has been arrested on suspicion of watching child sex abuse.
A Vatican statement said that an arrest warrant had been issued for Carlo Alberto Capella, which was carried out by the Vatican Gendarmerie.
“The accused is being detained in a cell in the barracks of the Gendarmerie Corps, available to the judicial authorities,” the statement said.
The arrest warrant was issued by the investigating magistrate of the Vatican City State Tribunal. Msgr Capella, who was in office until last year, was recalled from Washington last September by the Vatican.
