==Legal affairs==
===Loan sharking===
In 1999, he was charged with funneling church funds to his brother in what prosecutors alleged was a loan sharking ring. He was acquitted of those charges in December 2000. 
===Illegal subdividing===
In 2002, he was convicted and sentenced to four-and-a-half months confinement on charges of illegally subdividing a historic place. That case centered around his decision to convert property bequeathed to the church into apartments instead of creating a home for retired priests, as the heiress who bequeathed the property had wished. The criminal conviction was rejected by Italy's highest criminal court on 28 April 2005. http://www.cardinalrating.com/cardinal_35.htm.
