The former Carabinieri police officer pulled up outside a bar known as Twink — slang for a gay youth — next to Rome’s central station. He was driving a Fiat Panda marked “Emergency Blood” so he could easily park.There, he picked up Romanian immigrant “rent-boys”, some underage, for gay encounters with Catholic priests around Rome.

That is the explosive account, according to new details made public yesterday, that a convicted paedophile priest gave to Italian police in a case that threatens to rock the Vatican.
