A computer expert is due to go on trial on 5 November for aiding and abetting the Pope’s former butler to steal papal documents, the Vatican has announced.
Claudio Sciarpelletti is accused of helping Paolo Gabriele while working as a computer technician in the Vatican’s Secretariat of State.
Gabriele was given an 18-month prison sentence earlier this month.
He admitted passing documents to a journalist, but said he did it out of love for the church and the Pope.
