✍️ Defense lawyers in the Vatican's 'trial of the century' asked the prosecutor to recuse himself due to questionable behavior revealed in private WhatsApp messages.

👉 The defense lawyers asked the prosecutor to recuse himself due to questionable behavior revealed in private WhatsApp messages. 👉 The WhatsApp messages show that the prosecutor, Alessandro Diddi, has a personal interest in the outcome of the trial. 👉 The messages also suggest that the investigation was contaminated from the start and that the defendants couldn't get a fair trial in the Vatican. 👉 The defense lawyers argue that the prosecutor's involvement in the investigation and his receipt of WhatsApp messages from two women who allegedly tried to influence the investigation make him biased and unable to prosecute the case fairly.
