Church of Scientology

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

A French court on Tuesday convicted the Church of Scientology and six of its members of organized fraud, but stopped short of banning the church.

Buying up high-profile real estate is a good way of securing profits, gives the impression of growth, and comes with lots of PR opportunities.

The court also fined the members as much as 400,000 euros ($595,000) each.

The decision follows a three-week trial in May and June, during which two plaintiffs said they were defrauded by the organization, which is classified as a sect in France.

The church had said before the verdict that it would appeal any judgment against it.

The judge at the Correctional Court in Paris said the church may continue its activities in France, but he said those activities must remain “on the correct side of the law.”
