A brand new abuse scandal shakes the Vatican!

The small state has confirmed disciplinary measures in opposition to a Nobel Peace Prize-winning bishop who is alleged to have sexually abused underage boys over a interval of 20 years. The horrible acts are stated to have taken place in East Timor (Southeast Asia).

The case of Bishop Carlos Belo (74) was first investigated by the Vatican in 2019, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni stated on Thursday after Belo had been publicly accused of abusing younger folks and shopping for their silence.

The obscure assertion of the Catholic Church: “In gentle of the allegations” obtained by the Vatican, “sure disciplinary restrictions had been imposed on Belo” in September 2020, Bruni defined.

“These included restrictions on his freedom of motion and the train of his duties, bans on voluntary contact with minors, interviews and contacts” with East Timor, Bruni added. These measures had been “modified and tightened” in 2021.

On Wednesday, the Dutch weekly De Groene Amsterdammer revealed investigations alleging that Belo was accused of molesting youngsters from the Nineteen Eighties to 2000.

Along with the present President José Ramos-Horta (72), Belo obtained the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996 for his dedication to human rights through the Indonesian occupation of East Timor.
