(ANSA) – VATICAN CITY, MARCH 17 – “I was preceded by an unprecedented media massacre. Presented as the worst of the cardinals. A violent and vulgar campaign. All kinds of accusations with a worldwide echo”. These are the statements made by card. Angelo Becciu today in the classroom. “I have been described as a corrupt man. Greedy for money. Disloyal to the Pope.
Concerned only with the welfare of my family. They have insinuated infamy about the integrity of my priestly life, having financed witnesses in a trial against a confrere, even being the owner of oil wells or tax havens. Absurd accusations. Incredible. Grotesques.
Monstrous “.
“I want the truth to be proclaimed as soon as possible. I owe it to my conscience. I owe it to my former collaborators, to all the men of the Curia, to the ecclesial communities who knew me as the Pope’s delegate for the beatification of numerous servants of God and in the numerous countries that I have served during my diplomatic service.
I owe it to the whole Church. I owe it above all to the Holy Father, who recently declared that he believed in my innocence “, added Cardinal Becciu today in the courtroom in the trial on the management of funds from the Secretariat of State. (ANSA).
