“This morning, as part of a search ordered by the Promoter of Justice, Gian Piero Milano, and the Adjunct Alessandro Diddi, documents and computer equipment were seized from the office and home of Bishop Alberto Perlasca, former head of the Administrative Office of the First Section of the Secretariat of State,” Tuesday’s statement reads.

Tuesday’s operation was the second such raid conducted on officials of the Vatican’s Secretariat of State and makes Perlasca the sixth and highest ranking Vatican official to be implicated in the scandal surrounding the Holy See’s finances.

Correct. Sort of like having the “DNC Police” come in to enforce election fairness.
Lol. The Vatican is investigating itself. Bombshell revelations to follow. Maybe they can get the FBI to help them with the details and press releases.
apparently Trump is inspiring a cascade of swamp draining around the world.
It would seem so.....only takes one leader to start taking out the trash before otherleaders know their coverups will eventualy be exposed.
