ROME (Sputnik) - Pope Francis has signed a special apostolic letter containing a set of new anti-corruption regulations aimed at fighting corruption and ensuring financial transparency following a financial scandal over Vatican's purchase of luxury property in London.
The text of the letter was circulated by the Holy See Press Office on Thursday.
Under the regulations, senior Vatican officials and administrative staff cannot have assets in tax havens or invest in businesses that violate the Christian doctrine. According to the document, the cardinals leading dicasteries or other offices, senior management and administrators of the Holy See and Vatican City State are prohibited from having investments in "countries included in the list of jurisdictions with a high risk of money laundering or terrorist financing."
