Nun Bribes Her Way into Hell!

A Polish nun has been accused of bribing a policeman after she was caught drink-driving for the third time.

Prosecutors are investigating Sister Malgozata Lato, from Jelenia Gora, after a local newspaper reported that her ticket had been cancelled.

The paper claimed she had paid a policeman £500 to escape prosecution.

Sister Lato, a member of the local Benedictine convent, reportedly said she feared public humiliation if her fellow nuns found out about her wild nights out.

A Romanian priest has been fined and could be defrocked after he was caught playing poker in a pub.

Vasile Mihaila, 40, parish priest for Negoesti village in Gorj county, was caught in the act by police during a routine search.

The priest and other two men were each fined £200 for gambling illegally in an unauthorised place.

A police spokesman told Gazeta de Sud: “There were nine men at the table playing poker but only three of them had money in front of their seats. I was stoned when I heard one of them was a priest.” [Is that the proper terminology to use for an officer of the law? - ed]

Orthodox church officials said they have opened their own investigation but add the priest could be defrocked for “activities incompatible with the service of a clergyman”.
