Tax Agency Hints At Inquiry on Leak On Scientologists |
The Internal Revenue Service indicated yesterday that it would open an investigation into the disclosure of the confidential closing agreement that granted tax-exempt status to the Church of Scientology. Details of the agreement had been kept secret under taxpayer privacy law since it was reached between the tax agency and the church in 1993. Under the agreement, the church paid $12.5 million to the tax agency, created an internal monitoring committee to insure compliance with tax laws and agreed to drop more than 2,000 lawsuits against the tax agency and present and former tax officials. |

Scientologists Get To Question Critics' Backer |
The Church of Scientology won the right Tuesday to question the man who has been financing its critics. Scientology's lawyers say they want to know who Minton has financed and why because his motivations and those of potential witnesses could be an issue if the case goes to trial. Moody agreed, but warned the church its questions of Minton must be relevant to the McPherson case. |

Scientology Sponsored Suit Against Opponent |
Scientology has blasted Robert S. Minton Jr. for donating more than $1.25-million to its critics, calling his actions "nefarious" and underhanded. The church contends he is illegally interfering with lawsuits involving Scientology. But earlier this decade, Scientology officials themselves backed several lawsuits against one of the church's own adversaries, the Cult Awareness Network. |
