Church of Scientology Sent to Trial in France
By REUTERS
PARIS (Reuters) - A French magistrate has ordered the Paris division of the
Church of Scientology to stand trial on charges of attempted extortion and
invasion of privacy, judicial sources said on Tuesday.
Investigating magistrate Renaud Van Ruymbeke also notified Marc Walter, a
leader of Scientology in the Paris region, that he would face trial on the same
charges, in addition to false advertising.
However, Van Ruymbeke dropped charges against Martine Brochard, another Scientologist.
The suit was filed by three former Scientologists who accused the church of
using their names and addresses on its listings after they had left the
movement.
