As Becciu replies to the slap of Pope Francis
"I have not committed any crimes". Thus Cardinal Angelo Becciu repels the accusations of Pope Francis who torpedoed him. What the cardinal said at a press conference and in the newspaper Domani
“It seems strange to me to be accused of this. Those 100 thousand euros, it is true, I destined them to Caritas. It is in the discretion of the Substitute to allocate the sums that are in a particular fund destined to Caritas, to support various works. In 7-8 years I had never done a support work for Sardinia. I know that in my diocese there is an emergency especially for unemployment, I wanted to allocate those 100 thousand euros to Caritas "," that money is still there, I don't know why I am accused of embezzlement ".
Thus Cardinal Angelo Becciu defended himself after the Pope's torpedoing, explaining that the money did not go from Caritas to the cooperative managed by his brother who collaborates with Caritas in Ozieri.

"No challenge to the Pope but everyone has the right to their own innocence", said Becciu speaking with journalists during a press conference: "I hope that sooner or later the Holy Father realizes that there has been a strong misunderstanding", "I hope has not been manipulated “. Becciu reported that yesterday the pontiff "suffered" as he asked him to take a step back, "he was in trouble", "perhaps he had wrong information". However, the Pope let Becciu remain in his apartment in the Vatican.
AS BECCIU REPLY TO THE ACCUSATIONS OF POPE FRANCIS
Becciu already defended himself last night by speaking to a newspaper: “I said to the Pope: but why are you doing this to me? In front of the whole world then? He told me I would give my brothers money. I don't see any crimes, I'm sure the truth will come out ”.
Thus in an interview with the newspaper Domani founded by Carlo De Benedetti, Cardinal Angelo Becciu, who yesterday resigned to Pope Francis his resignation as prefect of the Congregation of Saints, in relation to the investigation started a year ago from the sale of a building in London by property of the Secretariat of State. A real torpedo of Becciu by Pope Francis ( here the article of Start Magazine ).

“I remain a cardinal – Becciu explains to the daily newspaper directed by Stefano Feltri – but if there is a conclave, perhaps I cannot enter. In our meeting the Holy Father explained to me that I would have favored my brothers and their companies with the money from the Secretariat of State, but I can explain. There are certainly no crimes ”.
Cardinal Becciu does not deny that a coop attributable to his brother Tonino is financed with CEI funds from 8 per thousand thanks to his explicit request: “I confirm, also because everything is accounted for. What's wrong?".

According to the investigators, another 100 thousand euros would have come to the cooperative directly from the funds of the Secretariat of State: "Wrong – replies Becciu to the former Espresso journalist and now in Tomorrow , Emiliano Fittipaldi – I, as a substitute, have never given money to my brother's cooperative , but to the Caritas of Ozimo. I have just called the bishop of Sassari who among other things told me that that money is still in cash in the diocese ”.
HERE'S HOW AND WHY BERGOGLIO TORPED BECCIU
“As a substitute – continues the cardinal – I had a fund with which, without having to answer to anyone, I could help various charitable organizations and associations. Why shouldn't I also lend a hand to Sardinian Caritas like that of Ozieri? ”. There is also a srl specialized in doors and windows attributable to another brother Becciu who would have obtained, explains the newspaper, significant orders thanks to the good offices of the relative, money coming from the nunciatures and therefore from the Secretariat of State: "True – Becciu confirms – the nuncio in Egypt knew my brother, and so he did work for about 140 thousand euros to change the windows of the headquarters, but even here frankly I do not see the crime ".

Becciu himself, however, would have bought his brother's fixtures to modernize the nunciature in Cuba, where he was assigned between 2009 and 2011, writes 'Tomorrow': "Excuse me, I did not know anyone else – he tells the newspaper – it was obvious I used my company brother. Then I didn't even finish the work, but the nuncio who succeeded me. He was so happy with the service that, when he was sent to the Egyptian nunciature, he called him back ”. Becciu claims today that he has not “stolen a euro. I don't know if I am under investigation, but if they send me to trial I will defend myself ”.

Today, Becciu said: “For the London palace, the Pence of St. Peter was not touched, it was not used. The Secretariat of State had a fund, it had to grow ”, added the cardinal, speaking to journalists. While for the Caritas of Ozieri the 100 thousand euros came from the Obolo but it was a "charitable" purpose, Becciu reiterated, however replying that yesterday with the Pope, in the interview that lasted "twenty minutes", there was no mention of the London palace.
