Vatican
City, 28 June 2013
(VIS) – This morning, Fr. Federico Lombardi, S.J., director of the
Holy See Press Office, issued the following communique regarding the
arrest, in Italy, of Msgr. Nunzio Scarano, director of accounting
analysis service of the Administration of the Patrimony of the
Apostolic See (APSA), in the context of an investigation on
corruption and fraud.
“As
has been made known in the past few days, Msgr. Nunzio Scarano was
suspended from his position at the APSA over a month ago, as soon as
his superiors were informed that he was under investigation. This is
in compliance of the Regulations of the Roman Curia, which require
the precautionary suspension of persons against whom prosecution has
been initiated.”
“The
Holy See has still not received any request from the competent
Italian authorities on the matter, but has confirmed its willingness
to cooperate fully.”
“The
competent Vatican authority, the AIF (the Vatican Financial
Information Authority), is following the issue in order to take, if
necessary, appropriate measures within its competence.”
