Church of Scientology Italy is suing Maria Pia Gardini for 2 million euros.

Maria Pia is shocked but she told me that she is confident. Most of all, she needs our help. She is an alone old lady.

Fortunately, Gianni Leone, Director of the UK-based www.mondoraro.org website (Italy and worldwide news), is really interested in publishing in his magazine any material, testimonies and documents that would help Maria Pia in her lawsuit versus COS Italy.

I just sent my full life story as Scientologist to Gianni and gave him my autorization to publish it and to use it in Maria Pia's lawsuit. I will also testify before a court as needed.


Gianni's email is [email protected].

Please, if you have anything to sent to him, do so. That will help a lot.

Italy is the 2nd Scientologist community in the world and it's time to make some noise in this country.

Thanks a lot to all of you.

Michel.

PS: Both Gianni and Maria Pia speak English. Gianni's company has a translation unit English - Italian - English. So, feel free to sent what you have in English.

Michel,


Thank you for this. Apart from stories, is there anything we can do to help? Unfortunately, I don't have whole-track recall on my Italian, how is her English?

Should we do a short dono drive? That is one big-hearted woman that was ruthlessly exploited by criminal cult........

Thanks OG,

Just talked to Maria Pia. She mainly needs histories that show Italians what the Cult really is and that can be published in any media.

She is going to publish everything she gets in the Catholic newspapers, which ads up to more than 1 million readers here in Italy.

Maria Pia is supported by the Catholic community, and attacking her in this country is about the same as attacking the Vatican.

Several anti-cult associations agreed to act in this lawsuit.:yes:

Personally, i think that the CO$ made a huge strategic mistake.:whistling:

Michel,

What would help us help would be knowing what the suit in about specifically: that is, what claims are being made against Maria by the CofS, and what has she actually done that is inciting them

That way, I for one, could target my input precisely.

This is a translation of Gianni's article.


Scientology suing Maria Pia Gardini for 2 million euros

by Gianni Leone
March 31, 2010

"Scientology is suing Maria Pia Gardini for 2 million euros and has cowardly decided not to face off against the publisher, Edizioni Paoline, or to sue the journalist co-author of her books, Alberto Laggia. The persecutory intentions of the well-known psycho-sect, which is at the center of controversy and trials around the world, are clear.

In the citation [dated March 30, 2010 and available in Italian in a PDF file], Maria Pia Gardini is accused of having "behaved and spoken on many occasions with totally unjustified acrimony and anger toward the Church of Scientology" and of carrying out a plan designed to damage the psycho-sect, to defame it and to discriminate against it.

The interesting thing is that Gardini is cited because "the harm caused by these behaviors and injuries was suffered by the Church as an institution representing the Scientology community in Italy as well as by individual believers, who inevitably will be affected by the negative impact of the defendant's claims."

This is lunacy!

It's like saying that no one can legitimately criticize a religion. It's an act of censorship, of extreme legal violence which seeks to isolate, shame, and humiliate Ms. Gardini. For this reason, I not only express my solidarity with Ms. Gardini, but I formally request that Scientology or "Scamology, pay to believe ..." undergo the same treatment applied to Ms. Gardini and be taken to court in Italian territory. I would be delighted to launch a lawsuit against what is one of the most dangerous psycho-sects that operates worldwide. I would be happy to bring before any judge, the testimony and evidence I have gathered about the acts perpetrated by Scientology, which I love to call fondly: Diarrheology.

Like Ms. Gardini, I too, want to be accused of "using terms that are aggressive and clearly offensive, inasmuch as they denigrate the personality and honor" of Scientology.

Let this be a battle against silence and arrogance.

I appeal to the Anonymous group, which for years has fought Scientology worldwide.

My email is [email protected]. I respectfully ask that you send to my address the material collected over the years: links, testimonies and documents.

I pledge that your material and the material collected by myself will be delivered to Ms. Gardini to enable her to present it in the case that concerns her.

Remember that Scientology in the U.S. is in the midst of a storm because the leaders have exploited, beaten, and underpaid their staff. Its employees were forced to work 7 days a week, from early morning until late at night, for fifty dollars a week.

Moreover, some former followers of Scientology in Italy have told me that the Scientology psycho-sect often sends Italian capital abroad disguised as donations.

For this reason, I formally, from the pages of this magazine, request:

* that the competent authorities verify the actual funds and property of Scientology on Italian territory

* that the Ministry of Health perform a verification concerning the "Narconon" communities which charge money for a detoxification method with no scientific value

* that consumer groups campaign against this psycho-sect which operates on Italian territory and practices mental conditioning

* that antitrust authorities take action against the "deceptive advertising" and "press releases" that Scientology spreads over the Internet

In conclusion, I appeal to all honest parliamentarians who know the dangers of psycho-sects to launch an inquiry into the real activity of Scientology in Italy.

The problem of psycho-sects touches 1 million people in Italy. It is a very grave problem which must be tackled seriously and firmly."



From what Maria Pia told me, she is sued because of her first book that criticizes the Cult.

so she is being sued for libel?
How old is this woman they are suing?

She is about 70 and gets only a few euros in retirement funds. She has been very rich actress...before knowing Scientology...and lost her daughter...who was Scientologist.

"My Years in Scientology" was her first book.

BTW, she is really beefed up now.:punch:

Good for Gianni!
God help us if scn. wins a law suit about Maria criticizing scn.
I doubt they will. It is extreme harassment of her, that is quite clear. It's what they do. I used to think these were "isolated incidents" and that I didn't know the details so couldn't really say that scn. was totally wrong. So many remaining scngists still cannot or do not look at the internet out of fear. For anyone lurking and reading this thread, please tell your friends who are in if you can, if you dare. I know it's hard but people have to stop kissing scientology's ass to make any difference. :kma: I know it's hard but it's not the religion you signed up for. It's just not. You know it's not.
This relentless harassing behavior from this "religion" makes me want to :puke2:

Thanks a lot Arthur,

Still cannot believe it! The Cult, after having totally ruined Maria Pia life, has the dihonesty to harrass her and sue her because she expressed her disagreements with the Cult.

IS THAT A RELIGION!?

Maria Pia is a old, ruined, alone lady who has the "balls" to speak out!

She has all my respect and I am now personally engaged in helping her on the legal front.

I expect many of you guys to send to Gianni what you have to say about your own experience with the Cult.

It's very appreciated.:yes:

Well convey my respect to her Michel, I have some friends in Roma who could help if need be.

Some anons have sent alot of material/links to Gianni so hopefully some co-ordination is in order too.

Perhaps send your stories via Michel then he can translate if needed, on a larger scale perhaps we could get more translations done.

On a side note are there many Incidents within Italy that you could research Michel and let us know about?

Outside of the USA, UK and Australia, abuse stories are thin on the ground but i'm sure they are out there. It just needs an effort to bring them to light or get in contact with various countries.

WRIT OF SUMMONS

For: The National Church of Scientology of Italy, 61 Via Cadorna, Vimodrone, Tax Identification Number 97053570152, whose legal representative pro tempore is Mr. Mario Sala and whose defense is represented by attorney Marcella Coccanari, member of the Rome Bar with a postal address in Grosseto at the Law Office of Luigi Bonacchi, as special attorney for the present writ.

- plaintiff

Against: Maria Pia Di Gasparro Gardini, born in Rovereto on October 14, 1936, residing in Grosseto at Via Bonghi n. 1 - 58100.

- defendant

* * *

WHEREAS

3. Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini has demonstrated and expressed on many occasions absolutely unjustified acrimony and anger toward the Church of Scientology and the intention of acting to damage the Church of Scientology in order to defame it, to discriminate against it or, to use Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini's more succinct terminology, "to kick Scientology's ass" [translator's note: "inchiappettare Scientology", literal translation: "to bugger Scientology"].

4. The goal of the Church of Scientology is to preach, practice, and disseminate the Scientology religion, as stated in article 3 of its Statute.

5. Therefore, in fulfillment of its goals, the Church of Scientology does not permit, nor does it carry out, promote, or organize behavior that is disregardful and disrespectful to citizens and to the parishioners who are close to the church.

6. The allegations, explicited and detailed below, that have been made by Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini, who accuses the Church of Scientology of acts on the fringes of the law, are groundless and unproven, as well as offensive, denigrating and defamatory.

7. The harm caused by these behaviors and insults was suffered by the Church as an institution representing the Scientology community in Italy as well as by individual parishioners, who are inevitably affected by the negative impact of the defendant's claims.

8. In particular, Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini, in the books of which she is co-author together with journalist Alberto Laggio for Edizioni Paoline, in newspaper interviews, on television, and also in newsgroup postings, has repeatedly lashed out at the Church of Scientology, using terms that are patently aggressive and offensive, because they denigrate the integrity and honor of the injured party.

9. This refers in particular to expressions such as "Stupidology" [translator's note: the Italian word is "Sciemology", from scemo "stupid"], used instead of Scientology (EXSCN newsgroup, August 21, 2009: "Stupidology" ["Sciemology"]; EXSCN newsgroup, September 16, 2009 "the children of Stupidology" ["i ragazzi di Sciemology"]), referring to both the Church itself and to its parishioners; or "they are like snakes, they crawl everywhere" (EXSCN newsgroup, July 6, 2009) insulting and denigrating the parishioners who contribute to social improvement campaigns promoted by the Church of Scientology (against drugs, against illiteracy, in defense of human rights, etc.): "donations made by the fools" ["donazioni fatte dai gonzi"] (EXSCN newsgroup, February 11, 2009).

10. Not limiting herself to this, Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini has repeatedly, without producing any evidence of what she claims, accused the Church of Scientology of undertaking acts of intimidation at the fringes of the law, attributing to Scientology parishioners extremely serious misconduct which is absolutely not tolerated within the Scientology community itself.

11. Above all, it bears repeating, without any evidence!

12. In particular, a list of statements by Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini is provided below, along with the name of the publication medium.

4- "They're like vultures":

- "I miei anni in Scientology- Colloquio con Alberto Laggia" ["My Years in Scientology - As told to Alberto Laggia"], page 113, referring to officials of the Church of Scientology.

13. Therefore, in response to the above statements and claims of Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini, the National Church of Scientology of Italy today considers itself obligated to proceed to protect its reputation and its honor, dignity, and integrity, as the institution representing Scientology in Italy and representing Italian parishioners and ministers, upon whom, as mentioned earlier, the defamatory and discriminatory effect of Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini's conduct falls heavily.

14. It should be noted at this point that defamation is manifested and constituted whenever the reputation of a person is injured by expressions, news, OPINIONS, COMMENTS, which go beyond the limits of the free expression of thought. The protected legal interest is therefore defined "by a man's reputation, by the esteem which radiates throughout the social environment, by the opinion that others have about his honor and dignity" (Court of Cassation 28.2.1995) and is obviously damaged by statements such as those which have been quoted.

In a similar case, in which the offended party was the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, the court accepted the observations of the prosecution, who pointed out that the defendant had used terminology laden with aggressiveness and even more "direct and explicit, crude and coarse" expressions (such as those adduced above and used by Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini, for example "Stupidology" ["Sciemology"], "vultures", "fools" ["gonzi"], "to kick Scientology's ass" ["inchiappettare Scientology"]) and the court upheld the complaints of the injured parties because of the "expressions and phrases which are surely apt to offend the reputation of the followers of the religious denomination of Jehovah's Witnesses and which evidence a willingness to single out the followers for public scorn; there exists no cause for exemption from penalty, as the expressions used do not constitute the legitimate exercise of freedom of the press and of criticism. "

*_*_*_*

From the foregoing, it is quite evident that the National Church of Scientology of Italy has suffered and continues to suffer very heavy damages directly caused by the defamation perpetrated via the activity and statements of Mrs. Maria Pia Di Gasparro Gardini.

The verbal violence, the unjustified insults, the demonstrated acrimony and the false allegations by Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini today lead the National Church of Scientology of Italy to protect the honor, dignity, and integrity of the Church and of the parishioners of the Scientology religion in this Church.

Regarding this point, it is necessary to emphasize that, given the manner in which the affront against Scientology was and still is being committed, the damage is far from being limited in time and is, on the contrary, extremely present, and therefore requires pre-trial intervention to protect the rights of the Church of Scientology and its parishioners even during the waiting period before this procedure.

For all the foregoing reasons and considerations, the National Church of Scientology of Italy, identified, represented, and located as stated at the beginning

Summons

Mrs. Maria Pia Di Gasparro Gardini, born in Rovereto on October 14, 1936, residing in Grosseto at Via Bonghi n. 1, to appear before the Grosseto Civil Court at its known address, chamber and judge yet to be determined, at the September 27, 2010 hearing, at the usual opening time, with an invitation to file an appearance at least twenty days before the hearing and to appear at the specified hearing, subject to the warning that filing an appearance after this period will mean the disqualification of Articles 38 and 167 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and that if she does not appear, the hearing will proceed in absentia, in order to consider the following

The snapshot below is from the long interview Maria Pia Gardini gave on the January 17, 2010 edition of the Swiss TV program Storie. This is the "Lugano TV program" mentioned in the writ of summons. The empty chair is for Scientology, which declined to participate.

8. In particular, Mrs. Di Gasparro Gardini, in the books of which she is co-author together with journalist Alberto Laggio for Edizioni Paoline, in newspaper interviews, on television, and also in newsgroup postings, has repeatedly lashed out at the Church of Scientology, using terms that are patently aggressive and offensive, because they denigrate the integrity and honor of the injured party.

Integrity and honor? What integrity and honor does the cult or the founder of the cult have?

They have denigrated their own honor and integrity more times than can be counted because many times the "shudder in to silence" through "fair game" tactics or pay off their critics with cash settlements that require gag agreements.

"The purpose of a lawsuit is to harass and discourage rather than
to win.... Don't ever defend. Always attack. Find or manufacture
enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace. Originate
a black PR campaign to destroy the person's repute and to discredit
them so thoroughly they will be ostracized..."

"The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment
on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, will knowing that
he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his
professional decease. If possible, of course, ruin him utterly."
