Rev. Heber Jentzsch of the Church of Scientology

Question answered by barb131 in Scientology

FredricRice asked this question on 7/25/2000:

This is a question more for current Scientologists who may know more about it, however I'm curious whether the Reverend Heber Jentzsch will return willing to Madrid to stand trial, whether he's a possible extradiction case, or whether the Scientology cult's management will feed him to the wolves, risking that the Reverend will sing like a canary to the authorities.

So I've got a number of questions:

#1 Is the Reverend Heber Jentzsch going to willingly return to Spain to stand trial?

#2 If not, is he extradictable?

#3 If not, can bounty hunters be purchased to collect Mr. Jentzsch to return him to Spain to stand trial?

#4 And if he's found guilty in abstancia, does that mean that the good Reverend would need to hide out in the cult's armed and fortified compound in Gilman Springs, California, or would he be walking around out in the open?

Thanks.

1. Not a chance.

2. I don't think so. I heard it has to be a felony, but I am not a lawyer. You should call the State Dept.

3.If Spain is that interested, I don't see why not. Mossad did it to Eichmann in a brilliant snatch n' smuggle. They staked him out for months prior to the snatch. I wonder how much the Mossad would want to repeat the operation?

4.The poor man doesn't even know his own address in L.A. If he does have to spend the rest of his life at Gold Base in Hemet, at least it has a good fence around the perimeter to keep him from wandering away.
