‘Cult School’ Leader Sentenced to Prison
This cult’s clothing collection bins are still sprinkled all across the Northeast U.S.
One of Denmark’s most wanted men and four co-defendants were sentenced for financial crimes and remanded to custody by the Western High Court in Aarhus yesterday.
There is only one small problem: no one is exactly sure where Mogens Amdi Petersen and his four cohorts might be.
The court accepted the prosecution’s request to have the 74-year-old Petersen and the others be sentenced because they failed to appear for the criminal proceedings for embezzlement and tax evasion.
The five are all hiding in unknown locations abroad.
In 2006, a lower court acquitted Petersen and three of his co-defendants of financial crimes in connection with the Tvind Humanitarian Fund, known internationally as International Humana People to People Movement, and which is an outgrowth of the controversial Tvind school for teachers.
