| http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/28/wo...=french&st=cse October 28, 2009 French Branch of Scientology Convicted of Fraud By STEVEN ERLANGER PARIS - The French branch of the Church of Scientology was convicted of fraud and fined nearly $900,000 on Tuesday by a Paris court. But the judges did not ban the church entirely, as the prosecution had demanded, saying that a change in the law prevented such an action for fraud. The church said it would appeal. The verdict was among the most important in several years to involve the group, which is regarded by the Internal Revenue Service as a religion in the United States but has no similar legal protection in France. It is considered a sect here, where it says it has some 45,000 adherents, out of what the church claims is some 12 million worldwide. It was the first time here that the church itself had been tried and convicted, as opposed to individual members. suite sur http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/28/wo...=french&st=cse |
