This R&D provides resources on the Vatileaks scandal. The Vatican is in the process of prosecuting public relations expert Francesca Chaouqui and two others for leaking financial documents to journalists, who then proceeded to use the documents to write books detailing corruption within the Catholic Church. The accused face up to eight years in prison and the case has highlighted how the Vatican does not operate as a liberal state. It is also the biggest controversy that Pope Francis has dealt with since assuming his post.
