Vatican City, 27 June 2014 (VIS) –
The first stage in the canonical trial against the former apostolic
nuncio in the Dominican Republic, Josef Wesolowski, has been
concluded with the laicisation of the prelate.
From this moment, the accused has two
months in which to make an eventual appeal. The penal trial before
the Vatican judicial authorities will continue as soon as the
canonical sentence has been made definitive.
Finally, with reference to recent media
reports, it is necessary to specify that until now Msgr. Wesolowski
has been granted relative freedom of movement, as he awaits the
verification by the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith of the
basis of these accusations made against him.
Considering the sentence passed by the
aforementioned dicastery, all the necessary procedures will be
adopted in relation to the former nuncio, in conformity with the
gravity of the case.
