A powerful Vatican cardinal has resigned after he says he was accused of embezzlement

Giovanni Angelo Becciu says he was accused of embezzlement and proclaimed his innocence during a press conference on Friday, the day after he was effectively fired by Pope Francis. Pope Francis celebrates the Pentecost mass on May 31, 2020 at St Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.Becciu served as the"substitute" in the Vatican's Secretariat of State, a powerful position similar to chief-of-staff, from 2011.

Here's why Becciu claimed that Francis was visibly disturbed during the meeting."He asked me to renounce the privileges of being a cardinal," Becciu added.Despite the tense meeting with the Pope, Becciu claimed that he will prove his innocence and is still"ready to give his life" for the Pontiff.
