According to information released on Friday, a senior cardinal on trial for
fraud covertly recorded a discussion in which he requested Pope Francis to
affirm that he had authorized some obscure financial transactions.
A transcript of the tape, which was recorded in July 2021, only days before
Cardinal Angelo Becciu’s trial started, was later made public by Italian
media. The recording’s existence was revealed at a hearing on Thursday.
