Prosecutors consider trial for ex-Vatican bank managers: sources
By Paolo Biondi
ROME | Tue Jul 2, 2013 3:17pm EDT
(Reuters) - Rome prosecutors are considering requesting that two directors of the Vatican bank who resigned on Monday be sent to trial on suspicion of authorizing illegal financial transactions, judicial sources said on Tuesday.
The Vatican bank's director general, Paolo Cipriani, and its deputy director, Massimo Tulli, left after the arrest of a senior cleric who is accused of plotting to smuggle 20 million euros ($26 million) into Italy from Switzerland.
A spokesman from the Vatican bank, known formally as the Institute for Works of Religion (IOR), declined to comment. Reuters was unable to reach the two men concerned.
Neither has been accused of wrongdoing although police wiretap transcripts contained in magistrates' evidence showed contacts between Tulli and Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, the senior cleric who was arrested last week.
