The Vatican was shaken by a corruption scandal Thursday after an Italian
television investigation said a former top official had been transferred
against his will after complaining about irregularities in awarding
contracts.
The show "The Untouchables" on the respected private television network La 7
Wednesday night showed what it said were several letters that Archbishop
Carlo Maria Vigano, who was then deputy-governor of Vatican City, sent to
superiors, including Pope Benedict, in 2011 about the corruption.
The Vatican issued a statement Thursday criticizing the "methods" used in
the journalistic investigation. But it confirmed that the letters were
authentic by expressing "sadness over the publication of reserved
documents."
