Chaouqui 'threatened Balda' prosecution papers show (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, November 25 - Vatileaks 2 defendant Francesca Chaouqui threatened co-defendant Monsignor Lucio Vallejo Balda in a WhatsApp conversation, prosecution documents showed Wednesday. "I'm tired of being your nursemaid," she said. "If you make trouble...you can kiss your security and protection goodbye".
    Pope Francis personally authorised the arrests of Balda and Chaouqui in the document-leaking scandal known as Vatileaks 2, according to a trial summons. They are on trial in the Vatican along with the cleric's secretary and two investigative journalists accused of using leaked documents for two books on alleged financial mismanagement and clerical overspending.
