A Vatican prosecutor on
Monday requested a three-year prison term for the former head of
the Vatican's Bambino Gesù children's hospital foundation,
Giuseppe Profiti for embezzling funds to restore the Rome
apartment of former Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio
Bertone. The prosecutor, Roberto Zanotti, requested the
acquittal for lack of evidence of former Bambino Gesù foundation
treasurer Massimo Spina. The prosecutor said a picture of
"desolation" had emerged, "marked by opacity, silences, and very
bad management of the public good". Bambino Gesù President
Mariella Enoc told the court Bertone was "not aware nor agreed
to" the revamping of his flat. A sentence is expected next
Saturday.
