Rev. Heber Jentzsch of the Church of Scientology

Question answered by Yertletheturtle 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.

I'm sorry to say I don't know much about'ol heber or the situation in spain.

What concerns me most is the idea that people like him somehow get these posts for life without any accountablity to the public.

Seem like there is no opportunity for the best people to rise to the top, and the only way now to get rid of innefective leadership in scientology is for them to do something so terrible they have to be kicked out.

This has lead to the current deplorable state of affairs in the church where it appears the current leadership are in a game to stay in power at the expense of the scientology publics interest.
