Laura Garcia de Viedma , former abbess of the convent of Belorado (Burgos), was arrested this afternoon by the Civil Guard on charges of selling works of art from the monastery.
Sources of the investigation have confirmed that the agents entered early in the morning to search the monastery, where they remained until the afternoon, accusing the former abbess of illegally appropriating and selling works of art and historical pieces of the convent.
A citizen filed the complaint and the investigation was immediately opened by the Briviesca Court.
On their Instagram social media account, the Clarisas nuns of Belorado themselves have reported on the police operation, stating that the Civil Guard has searched the monastery, but no onehas explained to them why; they have assured them that they do not know what the judge's order says. In the video broadcast, one of the nuns claims that the operation was "accidental."
In May 2024, 10 nuns from Belorada issued a manifesto stating that they were leaving the Catholic Church, so the Archbishop of Burgos, Mario Iceta, decided to excommunicate them.
