VATICAN CITY—The Holy See has announced criminal charges against 10 individuals—both clergy and laymen—in ongoing attempts to punish widespread financial corruption. Their trial begins July 27.
Among those named in a July 3 statement was Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu, once the No. 2 at the Vatican’s Secretariat of State. A recent revelation in the Italian press may also implicate Becciu’s former boss at the Secretariat, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
