Vatican Spokesman Greg
Burke on Monday described as "false and ridiculous" reports that
the Vatican had spend large amounts of money on the case of
Emanuela Orlandi, a teenage Vatican citizen who went missing in
mysterious circumstances over 30 years ago.
In an article published by La Repubblica on Monday, Italian
investigative reporter Emiliano Fittipaldi writes about a leaked
document that allegedly shows the Vatican spent over 483 million
lira, around 250,000 euros, on the case between 1983 and 1997.
Orlandi disappeared in June 1983.
In the piece, Fittipaldi reports money went to a pensioner in
London and medical expenses in the British capital.
Fittipaldi has written books in the past with revelations
linked to the two VatiLeaks scandals featuring embarrassing
leaks of confidential documents.
