Vatican lifts nuncio’s immunity

The Vatican has lifted the diplomatic immunity of its Paris envoy who is under investigation for alleged sexual assault, the French foreign ministry said Monday. Luigi Ventura, 74, faces four complaints of sexual abuse — including that he molested a junior official at the Paris town hall. French prosecutors in March asked the Vatican to lift his immunity. [1]
