Vatican prosecutors have requested that PR expert Francesca Chaouqui be given a tough jail sentence for "inspiring" the leaking of confidential documents.
In their closing arguments on Monday, prosecutors Gian Pietro Milano and Roberto Zannotti asked the Vatican tribunal to hand down a sentence of three years and nine months to Chaouqui, as well as convicting Mgr Angel Lucio Vallejo Balda and his secretary, Nicola Maio, for having formed a "criminal association" with the aim of divulging secret information to two journalists, Gianluigi Nuzzi and Emiliano Fittipaldi.
