VATICAN CITY

Vatican City, 3 July (AKI) – A commission of cardinals probing the damaging leaks to media of confidential Vatican documents is still quizzing witnesses and may deliver its report by end-July, the Vatican’s spokesman said Tuesday.
“The interrogations by the commission of cardinals are continuing…Cardinal [Julian] Herranz said in recent days that it has heard evidence from 28 people,” Federico Lombardi told journalists.
Herranz heads the commission investigating the leaks, which also comprises the cardinals Jozef Tomko and Salvatore de Giorgi.
Lombardi said that the commission would “probably” deliver its report on the so-called ‘Vatileaks’ scandal – one of the gravest security breaches in recent Vatican history – by the end of July.
The leaked documents are a severe embarrassment as they lay bare corruption, intrigue and venomous power struggles in the Vatican.
