‘Pope’s Hospital’ officials used $481,000 charity cash to renovate cardinal’s home – Vatican

‘The Vatican has charged two former officials of a children’s hospital with using $481,000 of fundraising cash to renovate a cardinal’s apartment. One of the men has admitted to the act, but says it was done as an investment for the hospital’s foundation.
The case centers on the former president of the Vatican-owned Bambino Gesù Hospital, Giuseppe Profiti, and former treasurer Massimo Spina.
The two men are accused of using €422,000 (US$481,000) from the hospital’s fundraising foundation to pay for renovations of Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone’s apartment when he retired as the Vatican’s secretary of state in 2013.
The crime reportedly took place between November 2013 and May 28, 2014, according to the Catholic News Agency. The payment is said to have been given to the construction firm of Italian businessman Gianantonio Bandera, which was conducting the renovations.’
