Cardinal Angelo Becciu attends the consistory inside St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, on Aug. 27, 2022. Lawyers for a once-powerful cardinal accused Vatican prosecutors of being “prisoners to their completely shattered theory” on Wednesday Nov. 22, 2023 in the latest round of closing arguments of a big trial that have raised fundamental questions about the prosecutors’ case and the rule of law in the city state. Despite attempts to demonize Becciu, the two-year trial hasn’t proved any of the prosecutors' allegations of embezzlement, abuse of office or witness tampering against him, said attorneys Maria Concetta Marzo e Fabio Viglione.
