Cardinal Angelo Becciu, previously convicted of aggravated fraud and embezzlement, has expressed confidence in a new trial, asserting his innocence and believing the truth will emerge.

The trial of Cardinal Angelo Becciu, a key case in Pope Francis's financial reforms, must be repeated from the beginning due to irregularities in the prosecution's presentation of evidence.

Cardinal Angelo Becciu expressed hope for his complete innocence to be recognized, a day after a Vatican appeals court ordered his retrial for alleged financial wrongdoing, including a luxury flat in London.

The Vatican City court of appeal has overturned the conviction of Italian Cardinal Angelo Becciu, who was sentenced to 5.5 years in prison for embezzlement in 2023, along with the verdicts against eight other defendants.

The trial of Cardinal Angelo Becciu, who was convicted of financial irregularities in the Holy See, will have to be repeated after an appeals court found numerous procedural errors.
