Victoria Police officers have interviewed Cardinal George Pell in Rome about allegations of sexual assault.
Three police members travelled to Italy last week where Cardinal Pell "voluntarily participated in an interview", a police spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
As a result of the interview further investigations are continuing but police won't comment further.
Victoria Police in mid-August revealed it was considering laying charges over alleged historical sexual assaults in Ballarat between 1976 and 1980 and East Melbourne between 1996 and 2001.
Two men had accused Pell of groping their genitals in the 1970s while another claimed he saw the priest expose himself to young boys.
In a statement, Cardinal Pell's office confirmed the interview.
"The Cardinal repeats his previous rejection of all and every allegation of sexual abuse and will continue to co-operate with Victorian Police until the investigation is finalised," the statement said.
"The Cardinal has no further comment at this time."
Cardinal Pell has previously strongly rejected the claims, describing them as "without foundation and utterly false".
Investigators in July sent a brief of evidence to the Office of Public Prosecutions in Victoria but they haven't revealed what advice was received in return.
Victoria Police chief commissioner Graham Ashton earlier this year said "anything is possible" when asked if charges could be laid against Cardinal Pell.
Cardinal Pell, 75, is a former Ballarat priest and Melbourne archbishop who now works in the Vatican for Pope Francis.
