Vatican prosecutors have seemingly defied an appeals court order to turn over to the defense all the evidence gathered in the Vatican’s big financial trial. Prosecutors said in a three-page letter on Thursday that they would allow the appeals court judges to consult the material. But they didn’t deposit the documentation for the defense to see in the chancery as ordered. Prosecutors said that it was “irrelevant” to the trial and could harm the Vatican’s interests. The prosecutors' position sets the stage for another clash in the long-running case. It wasn’t immediately clear how the appeals court would respond. The next hearing is scheduled for June 22.
