Vatican City’s chief prosecutor has frozen two bank accounts at the Vatican bank of a senior priest who was arrested as part of an investigation into fraud at the Holy See’s finances.
Mgr Nunzio Scarano was the director of the accounting analysis service at the Vatican’s financial administration, Apsa (the Administration of the Patrimony of the Holy See).
He was arrested in June following allegations that he had tried to move €20m (£17m) illegally from Switzerland into Italy.
