Prosecutors said Wednesday they were investigating Germany's top archbishop on suspicion of abetting child abuse, in the case of a man who said he was molested in the 1960s with the clergyman's knowledge.
Robert Zollitsch, the head of German Bishops' Conference, is being investigated
for allegedly turning a blind eye to the abuse by a priest, public prosecutor Wolfgang Maier in the southern city of Freiburg said.
The Freiburg diocese said Zollitsch strongly denied the charges.
