Scientologists profiting from their adherents exposed in Russia

In the affiliate of the Church of Scientology in Yekaterinburg, security forces appeared in the middle of the day, when at the cash stand gathered adherents and regular buyers of the literature of a very specific content: dozens of books by the founder of scientology L. Ron Hubbard, a variety of motivational pamphlets, etc. All this, according to investigators, the staff of the affiliate sold illegally, but, more importantly, the staff of the religious organization was engaged in providing the so-called educational activities without a license. According to preliminary data available to the police, the organization's earnings amounted to tens of millions of rubles.
In addition, they, in fact, interfered in the private life of their adepts. On each new-comer they collected an impressive dossier, recording all, down to eating habits, and, of course, bank accounts. At the same time the church leaders claimed that all the disclosed information was under secret confession. The police found out that the collected data was often used against the adherents.
