Cardinal Sentenced To 5.5 Years In Vatican Fraud Trial

File photo dated August 27, 2022 shows Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu (Italy) during a Consistory ceremony led by pope Francis for the creation of 20 new Cardinals at the St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican. A Vatican court on Saturday sentenced a once powerful Italian cardinal to five years and six months in jail for financial crimes at the end of a historic trial. Angelo Becciu, 75, a former adviser to Pope Francis who was once considered a papal contender himself, was the most senior clergyman in the Catholic Church to face a Vatican criminal court. He and nine other defendants, including financiers, lawyers and ex-Vatican employees, were on trial for accusations of financial crimes focused on an opaque London property deal. At the heart of the trial is the 350-million-euro ($ 380-million) purchase of a luxury property in London, as part of an investment that began in 2014 and ended up costing the Vatican tens of millions of euros. The trial, which began in July 2021, has shone a light on the Holy See's murky f
