The lawyers argued that the resulting trial into the Vatican's bungled 350 million euro investment in a London real estate deal is therefore illegitimate, and they again called for Tribunal President Giuesppe Pignatone to throw out the indictments. Pignatone is set to rule on their motions March 1.
On Friday, lawyers repeated those arguments. But they also called into question Francis' own role in the investigation, since he gave prosecutors carte blanche to pursue their probe, including by deviating from existing Vatican laws. Attorney Marco Franco, representing broker Gianluigi Torzi, argued that Torzi didn't even know about the existence of the decrees until after he was indicted and had spent 10 days in a Vatican barracks, where he was jailed after he voluntarily agreed to respond to prosecutors' questions. The decrees, meanwhile, have still not been published in any official Vatican publication as would be expected of any law, Franco noted.
A pope that supports all criminal dictatorship, communist regimes, narco regimes and genocides.
