Pope's Butler Arrested
Just saw this;
The pope's butler Paolo Gabriele was arrested in Vatican City on Friday, suspected of leaking hundreds of documents to Gianluigi Nuzzi, author of His Holiness: The Secret Papers of Benedict XVI. Sources say Garbriele had been under surveillance for weeks and was caught red-handed with documents he should not have had. Papal spokesman Federico Lombardi confirmed to Italian news service Ansa that Gabriele had been found "in illegal possession of confidential documents."
Gabriele is in custody within the Vatican's secretive judicial system, which is separate from the Italian state judicial system. The butler's arrest came just hours after the Vatican ousted Vatican Bank president Ettore Gotti Tedeschi for "failing to fulfill the primary functions of his office," according to a statement from the Holy See.
Tedeschi is also being investigated for leaking confidential documents to investors.
A massive information dump nicknamed ‘VatiLeaks’ has the Catholic Church sweating. Barbie Latza Nadeau talks to Gianluigi Nuzzi, the journalist exposing Pope Benedict XVI’s internal memos.
