Edoardo Prettner Cippico
Edoardo Prettner Cippico (10 October 1905[1]–7 April 1983[2]) was an Italian Catholic priest and official in the Vatican Secret Archive who was imprisoned in 1948 on charges of financial crimes,[3][4] and later revealed to have spied for the Soviet Union.[5] The Cippico scandal embarrassed the Vatican and the Catholic Church in the buildup to the 1948 general election in which the leftist Popular Democratic Front presented a strong challenge to the Catholic-aligned Christian Democracy government.
