Pope critic ordered to pay 1.8m euros to disabled brother

An Italian archbishop, who approached Pope Francis to leave has been hit with a court request to pay his incapacitated sibling 1.8 million euros from a legacy under his control, Italian media provided details regarding Thursday.

The decision was passed on by Milan court a month ago against Carlo Maria Vigano, a previous senior prelate who is responsible for a fortune evaluated at in excess of 27 million euros ($31 million) left to him and his various kin by his dad, an agent in northern Italy.

Vigano's sibling Don Lorenzo, a holy sacred texts master kept to a wheelchair after a stroke, had blamed the archbishop for appropriating a lot of the legacy unreasonably, the daily papers La Stampa and Il Giornale detailed.

There was no prompt affirmation from the Milan court.

Wear Lorenzo, who lives in a religious network in the US city of Chicago, had begun the claim against his sibling in 2010, requesting direct access to his cash and a more attractive pay-out of premiums.

Vigano, 77, rose to unmistakable quality as a best head of the Vatican's funds, and writers distributed spilled letters in which he claimed debasement in the Holy See.

He was named the Vatican's represetative to the United States in 2011, a post he took up reluctantly and served until 2016, when he achieved retirement age.

In August this year, Vigano made an allegation against Pope Francis, saying the pontiff had disregarded for a considerable length of time claims of sexual offense leveled at a disfavored previous American archbishop, Theodore McCarrick.

Toward the beginning of October, an individual from the Vatican's gathering of administering organizations protected Francis by bringing out a "political set-up without any establishment implicating the pope".

The pontiff declared an intensive examination of Vatican documents to investigate the activities and vocation of McCarrick.
