The name of Archbishop JEAN ZERBO of Bamako Archdiocese was contained in leaked Swiss documents cited by a French newspaper.
The revelation was made a week after Pope FRANCIS named Archbishop ZERBO among five new cardinals.
But the Archbishop of Bamako has denied holding Swiss bank accounts, with Mali’s bishops’ conference dismissing the report as false.
Reports say the Bamako Cathedral is rundown, and the church leadership has been raising funds for a new roof for years.
