Again, scientology is currently being sued in France, beside Germany the second heavy-weight enemy of scientology in Europe. Since it is a a very profane profit-oriented finance-enterprise, selling sectarianism, psychological exploitation and dependance, for the purpose of ripping of their customers and infiltrating public education and the leadership of the economy, in France and several other European countries it is not recognised as a religion, and thus is not protected by the French state as religions are (time and again they are involved in criminal investigations against them in several countries, and in Germany they are under constant surveillance by the Verfassungsschutz/office for the preotection of the constitution).
The new French case is expected to run over several years if they are found guilty, since the company without doubt will battle through all courts until the bitter end. But if sentenced, this time scientology finally could be completely banned in France, forcing it to officially dissolve itself in France and being prohibited to operate in France again.
En avant, France!
