Question 18210 — sects and secret societies

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Peu alerts the Minister of the Economy and Finance about the sale by an investment fund of real estate for the benefit of a sectarian organization. The German investment fund Warburg-Hih has in fact sold a building, despite the negative opinion of the local community and for the benefit of the Church of Scientology of France for an amount of 33 million euros. This 7,331 office building m2, located on avenue du Président-Wilson, in the territory of the commune of Saint-Denis (93), and previously owned by the companies Panasonic then Samsung, will be intended to welcome the public and allow the deployment of the proselytizing activities of this organization. The MP wishes to know what proceedings the Ministry of the Economy and Finance intends to take to obtain the cancellation of the sale, in the case of a transaction in favor of an organization classified as a sect since 1995 by the Interministerial Mission for Vigilance and the Fight against Sectarian Abuses (Miviludes). In addition, the MP recommends that broader proceedings could be initiated against the investment fund which carried out this transaction with full knowledge of the facts and in disregard of the classification of the Church of Scientology as a sect. Such investment funds, ready to dealing with potentially dangerous organizations, should not be allowed to continue their economic, financial and speculative activities when they contravene the general interest. Finally, he would like to know what legislative initiative he intends to bring about so that such situations cannot recur in the future.
