(ANSA) - Vatican City, June 14 - 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.

    Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi welcomed the birth of Pietro Elijah Antonio in a statement.
