PR expert Francesca
Chaouqui, a defendant in the so-called Vatileaks 2 trial into
the leaking of classified Holy See documents, gave birth to a
son on Tuesday, her defence lawyer Laura Sgrò said.
"Baby and mother are well," Sgrò said.
Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi welcomed the
birth of Pietro Elijah Antonio in a statement.
"Welcome! Best wishes to him and his parents!" Lombardi
said.
Chaouqui is accused of criminal association and conspiracy
to leak classified documents to two investigative reporters who
later released books about Vatican corruption, waste and
mismanagement.
