Cardinal Angelo Becciu -- charged with embezzlement, money laundering, fraud, extortion, and abuse of office -- says that Pope Francis wants to reinstate him as cardinal.

Cardinal Angelo Becciu, who was stripped of his prerogatives as cardinal-elector by Pope Francis in September 2020, has said that the Pontiff invited him to the upcoming meeting of all the world's cardinals (August 29-30), and that he intended to reinstate him in the College of Cardinals. These remarks were reported by the Italian press on August 22, 2022. The Vatican press office declined to comment when contacted by I.Media.
