A former court stenographer claims the Saint Paul Minneapolis Archdiocese may be hiding assets in its bankruptcy case including ancient jewels.
A letter submitted Thursday to the court by the stenographer claims the Archdiocese dropped off three shoe boxes to Bockstruck Jewelers in the mid-1990s.
He claims the boxes were filled with ancient jewels and art from the 19th Century.
He claims each worth at least $130,000.
In late May, the Archdiocese filed a bankruptcy reorganization plan that would set aside at least $65 million to pay clergy abuse victims and other creditors.
