However, Vatican officials accused him of spying on the private lives of his superiors
The Holy See’s former auditor general, Libero Milone, has said he was forced to step down earlier this year after uncovering possible illegal activity. Vatican officials have hit back, however, accusing him of spying.
Mr Milone claimed on Saturday he was forced out over false accusations by an old guard opposed to reform. Speaking to a group of reporters, he said he was speaking out because “I couldn’t allow any longer a small group of powers to [defame] my reputation for their shady games”.
‘I wanted to do good for the Church, to reform it like I was asked, but they wouldn’t let me,” Mr Milone added.
