✣Cardinal’s aide arrested for alleged child abuse
What happened? The former chancellor of the Archdiocese of Santiago, Chile, was arrested following allegations that he had abused seven children aged 11 to 17. Five of the reported victims were his nephews. The priest, Fr Óscar Muñoz Toledo, has been jailed pending a trial. Police are investigating the possibility that abuse claims were ignored by the archdiocese. Cardinal Riccardo Ezzati, who promoted the priest to the role in 2011, said Fr Muñoz told him in December that he had abused a nephew.
