The Vatican's high-profile trial, known as the "trial of the century," involving Italian Cardinal Angelo Becciu and nine other defendants accused of embezzlement and financial crimes, is expected to conclude this week after two and a half years. The lead prosecutor has requested a total of 73 years and one month in prison for the defendants, while civil parties have requested compensation of nearly $700 million. The trial is seen as a test for Pope Francis' reform efforts and the credibility of the Vatican's clean-up operation. The case centers around a controversial $400 million land deal in London, and the verdicts will not only judge the defendants but also the credibility of witnesses and the prosecution.

However, it is rare for defendants in criminal cases to testify, and Trump did not testify in his recent civil trial. In addition to the potential federal indictment, Trump is also set to stand trial in New York state court on charges related to falsifying business records.
