On the 29th of October 2002 a court case involving Scientology started in Copenhagen. Scientology is being accused of slander against the East German film producer Walter Heynowski and the Danish film producer Jørgen Pedersen, who both demand 250.000 euro in damages from the cult.

It all started when the cult in it's magazine 'Frihed' [Freedom] accused Jørgen Pedersen and the journalist Tom Heineman of having close connections with the DDR's Stasi through Walter Heynowski, an East German film producer. This was done in a special edition of 'Frihed' following a DR [Danmarks Radio] program, 'Temaaften', in June 1999 in which a row of critical programs about Scientology were the subjects.

One of them was "Religion or Money machine", which was produced by Jørgen Pedersen.

The journalist Tom Heineman, settled with the cult. The settlement is an amount of money, what was written about him in 'Frihed' should be deleted from the online edition and a full written apology in the same rag.

The court case is scheduled to last for 9 days.
