Up to 50 witnesses could be called to a hearing in March to
determine if there is enough evidence for Vatican finance chief Cardinal
George Pell to stand trial on sex abuse charges, a court heard on
Friday.
The 76-year-old, a top adviser to Pope Francis, is accused of multiple
historical sexual offences relating to incidents that allegedly occurred
long ago. He is the most senior Catholic cleric to be charged with criminal
offences linked to the church's long-running sexual abuse scandal.https://www.thelocal.it/20171006/up-to-50-witnesses-for-cardinal-pell-sex-abuse-hearing
