When our Sith Lord posted a copy of the release form from the CofS:

"I noticed the parties released on this document are Church of Scientology International, which is no surprise; Church of Scientology Religious Education College Inc, which is the Australian Charity that Scn in the UK cloaks itself under for religious tax exemption; and Church of Scientology Geneva.
Anybody know anything about this Swiss organisation?
I'm wondering if this is a fall-back religious cloaking, tax dodging setup, named in case the Australian Senate cancel the charitable status of COSRECI.
Is there any other reason CofS Geneva would be listed as a release party?"
If the CofS is looking to Switzerland for tax exemption status they may have trouble on the horizon:

The Swiss government announced earlier this month that it will cooperate in international tax investigations, breaking with a long-standing tradition of protecting wealthy foreigners accused of hiding billions of dollars.
Switzerland has come under intense pressure, in particular from the United States, Britain, France and Germany. Most recently Switzerland has been involved in a dispute with the U.S. over wealthy Americans who have assets in its biggest bank, UBS AG.
