Tantric yoga sect guru goes before French judge
Published By admin with Comments 0
Gregorian Bivolaru, a 71-year-old national of both Romania and Sweden, and 14 other people were to be questioned with a view to being potentially charged in the case, a judicial source told AFP late on Thursday.
French authorities on Tuesday arrested 41 people, including Bivolaru, and freed 26 women in raids against the sect after a probe into alleged sexual abuse.
The others arrested have been released without facing any further legal proceedings at this stage.
Bivolaru in custody denied allegations against him, but said he had been “endowed with extraordinary gifts” and was a “spiritual leader”, a police source said.
After passing the stage of “consecration”, women “loved him” at his home, the source recounted him as saying.
