The number of proceedings underway in the Vatican doubled in 2023 compared to the previous year. This was reported by the Vatican prosecutor, Alessandro Diddi, in his address to the Pope at the opening of the 95th Vatican Judicial Year.
“The past year was marked by important trials, both civil and criminal, which were followed with great attention by the press, including foreign press,” said Diddi.
In order to cope with the large workload and additional tasks that the Vatican justice system will have to deal with due to the upcoming Catholic Jubilee Year in 2025, a system for computerized management of files has been introduced in the Vatican, Diddi announced.
The prosecutor highlighted “the credibility” that the Vatican jurisdiction has been able to achieve “for years” in the international order, despite the Vatican’s non-membership of the European Union.
The Pope introduced some changes last April to improve the functionality of the justice system. The innovations include a more precise definition of the investigative and law enforcement functions of the office of “Promoter of Justice” – this is how the Vatican prosecutor is called.
