Finally an examination in the Tvind case
Berlingske Tidende,19th
June 2003
On the 16th day of court sessions in the Tvind case they finally
succeeded in examining one more of the eight accused persons, after
Mogens Amdi Petersen had been examined in December and January.
It was Bodil Ross Sørensen, former president of the fund which is said
to be implicated in fraud, who sat down on the witness's chair in Århus.
The examination, however, did not lead at all to a clearing up of the
suspicion related to the fraud of over 50 million crowns in the form of
tax fraud and abuse of trusted money.
Instead, she was reading a sermon being 20 to 30 years old which used to
be read to people before they decided to become members of the Teacher's
Group. Her lawyer, Merete Stagetorn, explained that this
would be necessary in order to understand the circumstances in the
Teacher's Group
which today has about 700 members.
The prosecutors think that the tax-exempt contributions of the Teachers
to the Tvind-related fund had been used for other purpose than
humanitarian, environmental or research oriented, as it should have
been.
The examination of Bodil Ross Sørensen will continue on Wednesday next
week.
