Preliminary Investigation against Scientology in Paris continues
Paris, France
Paris (dpa) - In Paris, the preliminary investigation against the
Scientology Organization for suspicion of fraud and possible illegal
practice of medicine is being continued by Judge Marie-Paule Moracchini.
This was decided by an appeals court on Wednesday in Paris. The future of
the preliminary investigation had been in limbo. The subject party had
made an application to the state court for the case to be dropped on
account of "inactivity" by the judge. Meanwhile important documents in the
case had disappeared a year ago. The investigation has been going on, with
occasional interruptions, since 1989.
On November 15, Judgment will be pronounced in a trial being conducted in
Marseille against seven members of the Scientology Organization for fraud.
Court documents for that process had been mistakenly destroyed by a
records official, according to an investigation by the Justice Ministry in
Paris.
