CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis met with Cardinal Angelo Becciu in a private audience on February 9.
Cardinal Becciu, the most prominent defendant in the Vatican’s landmark financial-misconduct trial, was removed from his office in the Roman Curia by Pope Francis in September 2020, as he became the focal point of an investigation into a troubled London real-estate deal.
The meeting was Cardinal Becciu’s first formal audience with the Pontiff since his resignation. The Vatican did not disclose the subjects discussed.
