The Church of Scientology has been convicted of fraud in a French court and handed down fines and a suspended jail sentence for the group's head in France.
The conviction follows complaints from two women, one of whom said she was manipulated into buying more than 20,000 euros worth of life-improvement courses and health products in the 1990s. The second woman alleged the Scientologists dismissed her from her job after she refused to sign up to courses and be tested.
