Seatbelt charges against Pope Benedict XVI dropped
BERLIN — Pope Benedict XVI can cross an outstanding charge of failing to use a seatbelt from his list of worries.
The southern German city of Freiburg on Wednesday (Nov. 30) threw out charges against the pontiff for riding in his popemobile without a seatbelt during a September visit.
“There will be no fine for the pope,” city spokeswoman Edith Lamersdorf, told the daily Badische Zeitung. “The charges were quashed.”
