✣ Vatican’s chief auditor in surprise resignation
What happened? The Vatican’s auditor- general, Libero Milone, has resigned, in the latest apparent setback for Vatican financial reform. Milone was appointed in 2015 to look for evidence of mismanagement and possible corruption in Vatican financial dealings. He was supposed to stay for at least five years.
A brief statement said that Milone had offered his resignation and Pope Francis had accepted it. Last year, the Vatican suspended an audit by PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
