Role in Case(s)
Cardinal Salieri was flagged as a suspect after the player and Carmen Martinez found a bible with a message to him from the victim. He was well aware of the victim's unfortunate death, and said the message was meant for him to calm his ambitions and trust in the Lord's plan for him. He called the victim an ordinary yet holy man, practicing what he preached. Salieri left shortly afterwards to make sure no one takes advantage of the Church now that Pietro is dead.

Salieri was immediately spoken to after his fingerprints were found on the Pope's miter. He confirmed that he tried on the miter, saying he should be the Pope; not Pietro who is not afraid to show his political views. He went on to say that the victim wanted to be the Pope of the people, campaigning against the Referendum like a common politician. Salieri said that a regal distance must be made between the people and the pope, and he made sure to inform the victim of it.

Salieri was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Brother Klaus, but had to be spoken to again regarding his fingerprints on a floor plan of different European monuments. When Marina Romanova asked the Cardinal about his fingerprints on the floor plans, he responded saying that it belonged to Brother Klaus, who gave it to him when he took his final confession before his arrest. He said that Klaus mentioned he had to visit all of Europe's monuments before coming to Italy. When Marina asked if Klaus mentioned the Promethians in regards to the floor plans, Salieri said he did not assuming it was just a bucket list for him.
