Monsignor in court: 254,000 euros abused for your own purposes!

A scandalous case shakes the Burgenland: an 88-year-old Monsignor, who was registered as an adult representative of his two cousins, was accused of using over 254,000 euros from their assets for their own purposes. The negotiation took place at the Eisenstadt regional court, and the accused confessed in court: "I only brought the money charitable purposes, such as institutions of the diocese that were in need." However, the public prosecutor was skeptical and found that it was a foreign property's money. The priest has repaid 108,000 euros so far, but there are still 148,824.24 euros because he has already used up his savings, as the Krone reported.

The dramatic developments in the courtroom

In an interesting picture, the Monsignor, which refers to himself as a "Robin Hood", ranks with a walker into the courtroom while he has to face the punishment for his infidelity. The judge expressed a judgment of eight months in prison for three years, which was inevitable in view of the considerable amounts that were about. Although the accused indicates that he has not drawn his own financial advantages out of the transactions, he is still guilty because the trust that was shown as an adult representative was abused.
