Five face trial for leaking Holy See scandal

Five people accused of 'leaking and publishing' secret documents revealing mismanagement in the Holy See are to go on trial. If convicted, the five could be jailed for up to eight years.

In a statement, Vatican said that the leak of documents was a serious betrayal of the trust given by the Pope.

Two new books written by Italian journalists allegedly revealed numerous financial scandals and extravagant expenditures in the Vatican.

Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Holy See's secretary of state under former Pope Benedict XVI, had taken a 23,000 euro helicopter ride to southern Italy by using funds for sick children from a Catholic Hospital, allegedly to do marketing for the hospital.
