VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – The prosecutor at a Vatican corruption trial linked to a botched real estate deal in London asked a court on Wednesday to convict Cardinal Angelo Becciu and sentence the former Holy See power broker to seven years and three months in jail.
Prosecutor Alessandro Diddi made the request at the end of his summing up at the trial, which began two years ago this month and where Becciu is one of 10 defendants.
All of them have denied any wrongdoing.
