The Vatican’s appeal court has issued a decree of relative nullity in the prosecution of Cardinal Angelo Becciu.
In a ruling issued on 17 March, judges found that key parts of the case were compromised by procedural errors, particularly in the handling of evidence and the legal authority underpinning the investigation. While the court did not overturn the original verdict or rule on the cardinal’s guilt, it concluded that the integrity of the process had been undermined and ordered a fresh phase of litigation beginning in June.
