Cardinal Angelo Becciu, the first cardinal ever prosecuted by the Vatican criminal court, was absolved of several other charges, and his nine co-defendants received some guilty verdicts and many acquittals.
It wasn’t clear where the suspects would serve their time, if the convictions are upheld on appeal. The Vatican has a jail, but Torzi’s whereabouts weren’t immediately known and it wasn’t clear how or whether other countries would extradite the defendants to serve any sentence.
I honestly wonder what the Vatican city jail would be like for people serving a sentence like this. My first thought on 5.5 years is “where the hell are they going to put him.”
Edit:
Per wikipedia
The Vatican has no prison system, apart from a few cells for pre-trial detention.[10] People sentenced to imprisonment by the Vatican serve time in Italian prisons, with costs covered by the Vatican.[11]
I’m surprised Italy will house prisoners found guilty of violating canon law.
Edit 2: It’s part of the lateran treaty, which is as good as a constitutional document for Italy

With current government it could… Jokes a aside, it is not about the ten commandments, vatican have a civil law mostly inspired by the Italian one
