‘Feverish pace’ over monk scandal investigations
Police have secured bank details for the two monks involved in a scandal. The monks have not yet appeared before the church-appointed investigative committee. The committee is working diligently to review a large amount of material and aims to present its findings to an ecclesiastical court. The monks have not been called to make a statement yet, as the committee wants to be fully prepared. Police have access to the monks’ bank accounts and other records for further investigation. The monks were allegedly found with €800,000 in cash and property, and were caught on CCTV footage engaging in sexual activity with each other.
