Paolo Gabriele the 46 year old personal butler to Pope Benedict XVI has been arrested and charged with the illegal possession of embarrassing secret documents he had leaked exposing to the world at large corruption from within the Vatican. Gabriele a layman who resides within the Vatican City with his wife and three children, is alleged to have leaked the press with documents that highlight the Vatican finances, operations and concerns with corruption. The scandal known as “Vatileaks”, continued to embarrass the Vatican seen as a scandal-plagued tax haven by the world financial community. Speculation continues that Gabriele was not working alone in the leaks, and investigations continue in efforts to identify any leadership from co-offenders potentially in any internal power struggle. Gabriele was being held in a “secure room” at the Vatican’s tiny police station inside the Vatican as there is no jail, until further investigation could be conducted in regard to any co-offenders. Pope Benedict XVI’s No 2, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone the Vatican secretary of state has been centre stage of the scandal with many of the leaked documents portraying him negatively, and for having “begged” to retain his position after exposing corrupt practices within the Vatican’s contracts for services.
