Becciu to the cardinals: "I am stained by unjust condemnation" - News. "I would not like to obscure the splendor of your purple with mine, stained by a heavy and unjust condemnation", writes Angelo Becciu.

"The tribunal has produced no evidence against me", he adds. "It is with suffering that I will do so because I would not want to darken the celebrations," he writes to the dean of the College of Cardinals, Card. Giovanni Battista Re, on the eve of Easter.
