Second conviction in Vatileaks case

(Vatican Radio) The Vatican court has sentenced Claudio Sciarpelletti, a computer technician with the Secretary of State, to four months imprisonment for his role in the so-called ‘Vatileaks’ case. The sentence was reduced to two months because of extenuating circumstances.

The ruling comes as part of the investigation into the theft of confidential documents, an investigation that has already led to the conviction of the Pope’s former butler, Paolo Gabriele.
