An Italian priest who ran a shelter for homeless children in Brazil has been charged with sexually abusing boys for years, prosecutors said.
Father Clodoveo Piazza, now working as a missionary in Mozambique, was charged along with another former director of the nonprofit group Fraternal Help Organization, a private group based in Salvador.
A prosecutor said at least 10 boys were sexually abused while Piazza ran the group.
Piazza spent three decades in Brazil working with children and left in 2007, officials said.
