The Vatican said Monday it has arrested two members of a commission set up by Pope Francis to review Church reforms. Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda, a Spanish priest, and Francesca Chaouqui, a laywoman, were taken into custody over the weekend on suspicion of leaking confidential documents at the Holy See, according to Reuters.
The two were interrogated over the weekend and Chaouqui was released on her own recognizance after she agreed to cooperate with the investigation, the Vatican said in a statement Monday, according to the Associated Press. The arrests happened days before two Italian authors were slated to publish books that are expected to disclose new revelations of past scandals in the Vatican.
