The first stage of the investigation of Mons Wesolowski has concluded with his laicization.
Official Vatican Radio statement:
Canonical trial of ex Nuncio Jozef Wesolowski
Vatican City, 27 June 2014 (VIS) –
The first stage in the canonical trial against the former apostolic
nuncio in the Dominican Republic, Josef Wesolowski, has been concluded
with the laicisation of the prelate.
From
this moment, the accused has two months in which to make an eventual
appeal. The penal trial before the Vatican judicial authorities will
continue as soon as the canonical sentence has been made definitive.
Finally,
with reference to recent media reports, it is necessary to specify that
until now Msgr. Wesolowski has been granted relative freedom of
movement, as he awaits the verification by the Congregation of the
Doctrine of the Faith of the basis of these accusations made against
him.
Considering the sentence passed
by the aforementioned dicastery, all the necessary procedures will be
adopted in relation to the former nuncio, in conformity with the gravity
of the case.
