An unnamed cleric is among 85
people who have been placed under investigation in a Brescia
probe into suspected tax fraud, sources said Tuesday.
What police called a "monsignore" was part of an alleged
criminal organisation dedicated to fiscal fraud, police said.
He is alleged to have aided an attempt to open an account at
Vatican Bank IOR in which to deposit money that was the fruit of
tax evasion, police said.
Some 20 people were arrested in the case.
They include three accountants and three lawyers, police
said.
