蒂冈的上诉法庭宣布对前枢机主教安吉洛·贝奇尤 (Angelo Becciu) 的高调案件进行了无效审判,裁定弗朗西斯教皇和蒂岡检察官犯下的程序错误使原来的起诉书无效.
The Vatican’s appeals tribunal declared a mistrial in the high-profile case against former Cardinal Angelo Becciu, ruling that procedural errors by both Pope Francis and Vatican prosecutors invalidated the original indictment.
