Vatican set to rule on Pope's former butler
The Vatican is set to rule on whether Pope Benedict's former butler will stand trial for stealing and leaking confidential papers from the pontiff.
Paolo Gabriele, who was arrested in May on suspicion of stealing secret documents from the pope's office and leaking them to journalists, is likely to be charged with "aggravated theft", according to his lawyers.
The 46-year-old risks up to six years in prison, and if the trial goes ahead, it will not take place until October at the earliest.
