Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe is reflected on his desk as he gives a press conference in Naples, southern Italy, Monday, June 21, 2010.

Under investigation in a sprawling corruption scandal, Sepe insisted he acted transparently and for the good of the church while heading the Vatican office that funds missionary work abroad. Sepe's real-estate transactions at the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples are under scrutiny, as prosecutors are trying to untangle an alleged web of kickbacks involving billions of euros worth of contracts for such mega-projects as preparing 2000 Holy Year events in Rome, the 2009 Group of Eight summit and rebuilding the quake-shattered town of L'Aquila.
