Nuncio Attempted in Vain to Dodge The Police

What is it about this Pontificate? I'm sure there have always been corrupt Prelates, but they're coming out of the woodwork now!

From Gloria.tv

Archbishop Ettore Balestrero, the former Colombia nuncio, once he found out in September 2017 that the police were after him, stopped using his normal phone and bought Columbian sim cards in order to communicate with his brother who used phone-lines in two hotels in a failed attempt to avoid phone surveillance by the Italian police.

The police also intercepted Balestrero’s long phone-call to Curia Cardinal Mauro Piacenza from whom he thought spiritual advice.

Balestrero is investigated for money laundering. The four million Euro he helped to transfer into Italy was used to buy a swimming resort in Genoa, the biggest in Europe.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
