Breakin News: Computer Expert Convicted For Leaking Pope Documents
10.11.2012 LISTEN

A Vatican court has convicted a computer expert of helping the Pope's former butler to leak information from confidential papal documents.

Claudio Sciarpelletti, 48, was given a suspended sentence of two months for obstruction of justice.

He was accused of aiding former butler Paolo Gabriele while working as a computer technician in the Vatican.

Gabriele was given an 18-month prison sentence this month after he admitted passing documents to a journalist.
