The president of the pontifical
council for the family, former Terni bishop Vincenzo Paglia,
could face charges in a probe into suspected embezzlement and
price-rigging in the sale of an Umbrian castle, police said
Wednesday.
The sale of Narni's San Girolamo castle is linked to a
"hole" of over 20 million euros during Paglia's term as Terni
bishop, they said.
The probe started in July 2013 with the arrest of the
former head of the technical office of the diocese, Luca
Galletti, former buyer Paolo Zappelli and the head of the Narni
municipal planning office Antonio Zitti.
Investigations have been concluded against all those
implicated, the usual prelude to charges being brought.
