Scientology Leader Jailed For Fraud |
Xavier Delamare, a former regional Scientology leader in south-east France, was given a further 18-month suspended sentence by the Marseille court while four other members accused of fraud, violence and illegally practising medicine were given suspended sentences of six months to a year. The verdict marked the end of a decade-long investigation into the group's activities in Marseille and Nice. Church officials were accused by former members of selling bogus "purification" treatments costing between pounds 1,200 and pounds 15,000 but consisting mainly of sessions in the sauna, jogging and vitamin pills. |

Scientology Trial Opens in France |
Seven members of the Church of Scientology have gone on trial in France on charges of fraud. The trial has led to renewed calls for banning Scientology in France, which officially regards it as a dangerous cult rather than a religion. The charges against the seven defendants - who are alleged to have obtained large sums of money from fellow Scientologists by fraudulent means - date back to the late 1980s. |
