[Jailed Scientology donor Ivan Gaspari with church leader David Miscavige]
On June 13, we described the bizarre situation we had learned was happening in the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland, where a former Scientology mega-donor named Ivan Gaspari was being held in jail in Lugano on accusations by a private party, who turned out to be the richest Scientology donor of all, Florida artist Trish Duggan.
In 2019, Duggan invested tens of millions in Gaspari’s steel-trading business which, he insists, was purposely set up to funnel profits to the Church of Scientology.
But in 2023, Duggan went to Swiss authorities, saying that Gaspari was stealing millions from the company they had set up, and he has been held under those charges of a “private accuser” for a full year as the public prosecutor, Veronica Lipari, investigated.
Yesterday we heard from Gaspari that Lipari has now charged him formally, and a trial has been scheduled in three months.
