'Vatileaks 2' defendant
Francesca Immacolata Chaouqui defended herself at a press
conference Thursday, saying she had been trying to help Pope
Francis and not bidding for a place in the Roman Curia when she
allegedly gave journalists confidential documents.
"My problem was helping the Holy Father, not getting a
place in the Curia," said the Calabrian-born PR expert, who
denies passing on files to the journalists for two expose'-style
books.
Chaouqui arrived at the press meet in her native town of
San Sosti to the sound of Fiorella Mannoia's hit song 'Io no ho
paura' (I'm Not Scared).
