Documents and computer files
were seized Tuesday form the office and home of Msg Alberto
Perlasca, former administrative chief of the first section of
the Vatican Secretariat of State, in a probe into the
Secretariat's financial and real estate investments, the Holy
See press office said.
It said the move was based on evidence provided on the first
questioning of functionaries who have been placed under
investigation and suspended from duty in the case.
The major Vatican probe into suspect financial operations
centres on a London property deal allegedly funded with Peter's
Pence.
Tuesday's operation was ordered by the Vatican promoter of
justice.
