Cardinal George Pell, Australia’s highest ranking Catholic, has returned to Australia after being charged with historical sex offences.
The 76-year-old landed at Sydney Airport at 5.55am on Monday after flying in from the Vatican via Singapore.
The Australian Federal Police, NSW Police and private security contractors were waiting to escort Cardinal Pell from Sydney Airport.
Cardinal Pell left the airport through a separate exit to other passengers, and got into one of two waiting white cars. He did not answer any questions.
