The case of the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi, daughter of an employee of the Prefecture of the Pontifical Household of the Vatican, in 1983 has created new tensions in the Vatican. The Vatican has also come out in defense of John Paul II after the appearance of an alleged recording in which he has been accused without evidence of exploitation of minors.
Emanuela's brother handed over to the prosecutor all the information in his possession and asked him to question all the cardinals and men in the curia who might know what happened.
