The Vatican said on Monday that Rene Bruelhart, the head of its financial regulator, would be leaving, and Bruelhart said that he had resigned.

The departure of Bruelhart, a Swiss lawyer, follows an unprecedented raid at the offices of the Financial Information Authority (AIF) and the Secretariat of State on Oct. 1.
