CWN Editor's Note: A British financier who was convicted of fraud in the Vatican’s “trial of the century” has asked the UN to investigate Pope Francis for alleged illegal wiretapping.
Raffaele Mincione—who has already brought suit against the Vatican Secretariat of State, saying that he was wrongfully charged for his involvement in a London real-estate case—says that the court records show Pope Francis authorized wiretaps on his phones without adequate reason. In a complaint to the UN’s special rapporteur for judicial independence, Mincione’s lawyers refer to an “unreasoned authorization to prosecutors by an absolute monarch” as an offense against human rights.
