New chapter in the scandal of the purchase of the London property with funds from the Secretary of State.

According to Tg1, it concerns one of the witnesses in the trial: a file has been opened against Francesca Immacolata Chaouqui before the Vatican tribunal on three counts.

Influence peddling: she is accused of having received money from another witness to bribe, that is, influence and condition the main accuser of Cardinal Angelo Becciu, Monsignor Alberto Perlasca . The second charge is false testimony in court, the third is bribery, for having induced another witness to give false statements in the trial. Chaouqui will have to be heard by the promoter of justice.

Called by Pope Francis to collaborate on the reform of Vatican finances, Chaoqui ended up in the Vatileaks 2 scandal and was sentenced in 2016 to ten months in prison with a sentence suspended for five years in collaboration with Monsignor Lucio Vallejo Balda. "I am very calm," Chaouqui told Tg1.
