French Scientology trial ends


French Scientology trial ends

The trial has ended in the French city of Marseille of seven members of the Church of Scientology accused of fraud.

The prosecution has asked for one of the defendants -- a former Scientology leader Xavier Delamare -- to be jailed and for five of the other six to be given suspended sentences.

The court is due to give its verdict in November.
