Benedict XVI for possible complicity in abuses in the diocese of Munich and Freising in the absence of “sufficient suspicion” of criminal acts, which, if they had taken place, would have already been prescribed.

Benedict, who stepped down as pontiff in 2013, admitted that case management mistakes being in this position and apologized. His lawyers argued that he was not directly guilty.
The Pope Emeritus died on December 31, 2022. at the age of 95 years.
