Vatican Cleric Arrested in Bank Probe Italian officials say a Vatican cleric has been arrested in connection with an investigation into the scandal-plagued Vatican bank, known as the Institute for Works of Religion. Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, who was arrested Friday, had worked in the Vatican`s financial administration. Authorities say a member of Italy`s secret service and a financier were also arrested Friday as part of the probe into the men`s involvement in the plot to illegally bring $26 million into Italy from Switzerland. Scarano, who was recently suspended from his Vatican post, is under investigation in another case by the southern city of Salerno for alleged money laundering. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/vatican-cleric-arrested-in-bank-probe /1690973.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/vatican-cleric-arrested-in-bank-probe/1690973.html
