Arrests over Vatican leaks

A monsignor and a woman have been arrested in an investigation into yet another leak of confidential information and documents, the Vatican has said.

A statement from the Holy See’s press office said that Vatican prosecutors yesterday upheld the arrests of the two, who had been interrogated over the weekend.

It identified the woman as Francesca Chaouqui and the monsignor as Reverend Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda.
