Since some of the materials which describe the $cientology cult could be
considered to be copywritten materials, I have censored myself and The
Skeptic Tank by deleting any and all possible text files which describes
the cult's hidden mythologies. I have elected to quote just a bit of the
questionable text according to the "Fair Use" legal findings afforded to
those who report. - Fredric L. Rice, The Skeptic Tank, 09/Sep/95

Yes, and not only the name, but the account as well. Kaj is who
he claims to be - the e-mail adresses are valid.

This Scientology case started on day when a lawyer from a very respected law
office contacted us and said he was representing the Church of Scientology
and that he had in his office a privat investigator from the United States
that had come here to investigate on behalf of the church.
They came to my office in Helsinki and told me that someone had penetrated
in to a computer in Los Angeles and taken secret information form it. The
computer was the property of the Church of Scientology.

Interpol is not a policeorganization. Most of the countries in the world
have joined Interpol and therefore assign a part of its organization to be
called Interpol. Interpol does not investigate crimes nore excecute any
police duties. It only sends mail from one country to another and keep
registers.
If I want to send a letter to a law enforcement agency in another country, I
send it to our local Interpol, that sends it to the other country and to its
Interpol agency, that in turn sends it ot the local police.
Interpol never has an active part in investigating crimes.

When I got the information from Helsingius, I could see that the crime had
been committed from the United States. I had seen a document that showed me
that there was an investigation about the same case in Los Angeles.
As there was an investigation going on in the United States and it the crime
had been commited from there we decided to end our investigation. I wrote a
letter ot our Interpol and asked them to forward our findings to the police
in Los Angeles.
I gave the results of our investigation to the person who had reported the
crime, the finnish lawyer.

I really have not heard anything about what has happened after I left tha case.
That was it. I do not know what has happened after that in Los Angeles to
the investigation there. Police organizations do not report to other
countries their results.

I certainly appreciate Detective Malmberg coming forward with this
information. It seems from these reports that Interpol was involved
only after the fact. Since Julf is there, and rather interested in
the case, perhaps he could pick up the report? I would be happy to
forward the cost to Julf, plus something for his time translating and
posting to this group.
It would also be of great interest to know the name of the investigator
CoS sent to Finland, and just exactly who got the report routed through
Interpol after the name was obtained. Keith Henson
