Vatican lifts envoy’s immunity over sex assault claims: France 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseThe Vatican has lifted the diplomatic immunity of its Paris envoy under investigation for alleged sexual assault, the French foreign ministry said Monday. Luigi Ventura, 74, faces four complaints of sexual abuse — including that he molested a junior official at the Paris town hall. During the ceremony, a city employee had their backside repeatedly groped, with the town hall filing a complaint on January 24. A career diplomat with the Vatican, Ventura has held the position in Paris since 2009.
