Cardinal Sentenced To 5.5 Years In Vatican Fraud Trial

File photo dated June 28, 2018 shows newly-appointed Cardinal, Giovanni Angelo Becciu (Italy) poses after Pope Francis installed 14 new cardinals during a consistory ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica at the 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.
