The News of Poland reports that the former papal nuncio in the Dominican Republic, Jozef Wesolowski was buried in Poland on Saturday, 5 September 2015. He had been charged with pedophilia in the DR and possession of pornography.
Wesolowski was buried in the southern village of Czorsztyn, after a funeral ceremony in the Vatican on Monday, 31 August 2015. As reported, eight minutes of silence replaced a homily for the disgraced former archbishop, who died before his trial had finished.
The News reported that excerpts of a letter to family members were read out at the ceremony in which Wesolowski declared his innocence. “They accuse of me deeds which I never committed,” it read, according to the Polish press agency, PAP.
Wesolowski, 67, died in his room at the Vatican on 27 August while awaiting trial in a Holy See court. A preliminary autopsy reportedly showed he had died of a heart attack.
