Vatican City, Sep 17, 2012 \/ 12:19 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- The two men charged in the \u201cVatileaks\u201d case will go to trial Sept. 29, according to a communique released Sept. 17 by the Vatican Press Office.<\/p>\n

\tPaolo Gabriele, the Pope's former butler, was charged with theft, having been suspected of leaking confidential papal and curial documents to the press. Claudio Sciarpelleti, a computer technician at the Secretariat of State, was charged with aiding and abetting Gabriele, a lesser charge.<\/p>\n

\tSciarpelleti is suspended but is still an employee at the Vatican\u2019s Secretariat of State Department.<\/p>\n

\tGabriele could face six years in jail if he is found guilty.<\/p>\n

\tOn Aug. 13 Judge Piero A. Bonnet sent the pair for trial. The two will be tried jointly by a three-judge panel.<\/p>\n

\tThe Vatileaks scandal broke in May 2012, and involved numerous documents about the internal workings of the Vatican being leaked to Italian news outlets for a period of months.<\/p>\n

\tIn May, journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi released a new book entitled \u201cSua Santita\u201d (His Holiness), which contained a series of leaked letters addressed personally to Pope Benedict. Nuzzi claimed to have multiple sources within the Vatican.<\/p>\n

\tThe leaks were investigated by a commission of three cardinals led by Cardinal Julian Herranz of Spain.<\/p>\n

\tCardinal Herranz told CNA on May 24 that the leaks were \u201cconfusing souls and also giving the Church and the Holy See a completely unfair image.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tGabriele, 46, was arrested May 25 after confidential Vatican documents were found in his apartment. He has worked in the Papal Household under both John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and had daily access to the pontiff.<\/p>\n

\tGabriele initially denied involvement in the leaks.<\/p>\n

\tAccording to the Aug. 13 report issued by Judge Bonnet, Gabriele intended to help the Pope understand the problems of corruption within the Church. He thought that a \u201cmedia shock\u201d would put the Church \u201cback onto the right track.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tVatican officials have continued to investigate the case.<\/p>\n

\tThe two have been notified of the trial date decree, which was issued by Giuseppe della Torre, president of the Tribunal of the Vatican City State.<\/p>\n

\tThe first hearing will take place at 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 29 in the audience hall of the Tribunal.<\/p>\n
