Travolta leaves France on Scientology's account
Actor afraid of possible interrogation
Paris, France
Paris (dpa). American film actor John Travolta, who is a member of the
Scientology Organization, has unexpectedly ended his visit to France and
has gone back to Los Angeles on Wednesday in a private aircraft. This was
reported by the French paper "Le Parisien" on Thursday.
While Travolta, according to the official statement, had to go back
because of film work in the USA, those in his inner circle are saying that
the actor made a premature departure due to the trial against seven
Scientology adherents in Marseille. He was afraid of being interrogated by
the Justice Ministry in the matter.
The Scientology members are standing before the court in Marseille on
charges of fraud. Travolta first arrived in Paris on Monday to advertise
for the new film "Defenseless - The General's Daughter." [not sure of
English title - trans.] The film runs in France the middle of next week,
in Germany the opening is planned for November 18. Several scheduled
interviews were cancelled after Travolta's departure on Wednesday.
