English summary of the Italian source: MilanoFinanza says the Court of Cassation agreed with the Vatican tribunal and the defence that Italian courts lacked jurisdiction, under Article 11 of the 1929 agreement between Italy and the Holy See, which bars Italian justice from reviewing the conduct of the Church’s central bodies; prosecutors then challenged Article 11 and the Constitutional Court rejected the challenge as too late, without ruling on the merits. Catholic News Service: the Vatican tribunal said the treaty rules out Italian “interference” in central church agencies.
