Cecilia Marogna, the woman who appears in the investigation into the former number 2 of the Vatican Secretariat of State, Cardinal Angelo Becciu, was arrested by the Guardia di Finanza on an international arrest warrant issued by the Vatican.

The arrest warrant was carried out in Milan through Interpol by the local Fiamme Gialle.

The accusation against Marogna is embezzled for misappropriation of assets.

The woman will be extradited to the Vatican and made available to the Oltretevere judicial authority.


    In the crosshairs of the Vatican investigators, transfers for a total of 500,000 euros would have ended up that the woman would have received from the Holy See for secret humanitarian operations in Asia and Africa, and which, almost half, would have been used for the purchase of handbags. cosmetics and other luxury goods.

Among other things, 12 thousand euros would have been spent by Poltrona Frau, 2,200 by Prada, 1,400 by Tod's, 8 thousand by Chanel.


    The 39 / year old manager from Cagliari allegedly established relations with the Vatican Secretariat of State in 2016, when Cardinal Angelo Becciu was Substitute for General Affairs - practically number three in the Vatican hierarchy -, accrediting herself as an expert in diplomatic relations and mediator in international crises .


    In possession of a letter signed by Becciu indicating her as a trusted person, the one that the press has already defined the "cardinal's lady" would have benefited from the money in several tranches between December 2018 and July of last year on the current account of Logsic, the Slovenian company, based in the capital Ljubljana, of which she is the administrator.


    All payments with the purpose of "contribution for humanitarian mission".

Moreover, Logsic itself would have turned out to be a ghost company.


    The Becciu case, emanation of the investigation into the purchase by the Secretariat of State of a luxury property in Sloane Avenue, London, exploded with the recent shock-hearing in which the Pope deprived the 72 / year old Sardinian prelate of office of prefect for the causes of saints and rights connected with the cardinalate.
