I never heard that before.
I thought the situation was that the police did not choose to pursue the case.
Did the police inform the Vatican they were trying to serve papers?
It isn’t the police who make the decision. It’s the Attorney General. Troopers went out to his residence on a Friday afternoon around 4:00pm. He flew out of Boston the next morning. It was reported in the Boston Globe a day or so later.
Now how obvious they were when they drove up the driveway, I don’t know. He must have known they were coming. My understanding was the first-class ticket on Al Italia was purchased shortly before he was to travel and cost a lot.
