Libero Milone, the Vatican’s ex-auditor general, doesn’t give up easily. Having had his lawsuit against the Vatican for unlawful dismissal rejected in 2024, fined 113,000 euros in trial costs, and his appeal rejected in July, he has now taken his case to the Court of Cassation, the supreme court of Vatican City State. Recalling how both he and Cardinal Pell were forced out of the Vatican at around the same time, he describes the situation as an “Orwellian system of protection of power within the Vatican.”
