An influential Vatican journalist has written that a member of the 8-member committee appointed by Pope Francis in July to help reforms in the Vatican's economic activities may have been involved in the "Vatileaks" scandal.
Sandro Magister of L'Espresso reports that Francesco Chaouqui, an Italian laywoman with a background in public relations, was the source of a report in La Repubblica, publishing in March, claiming that Paolo Gabriele was not the only source of Vatican documents leaked to the Italian media.
