Private Investigators Paul Marrick and Greg Arnold sue Church of Scientology Chairman of the Board, David Miscavige, his organization, Religious Technology Center ( RTC), and Church of Scientology of Texas for Quantum Meruit, Promissory Estoppel, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Fraud, Negligent Misrepresentation, Breach of Contract, Theft of Services.Church of Scientology paid two private investigators millions to trail David Miscavige's rival, lawsuit claims"......Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige ordered surveillance on one of his former church rivals in a secret operation that lasted 25 years and ate up millions in church funds, a Texas lawsuit alleges.The two private investigators who filed the suit say the church hired them to conduct intensive surveillance on Pat Broeker,....""...The two are seeking damages, alleging the church made false representations and breached its agreement with them.....""...The men also did other work for Scientology, including surveillance of Mitch Daniels, the Indiana governor, the lawsuit says....."Marrick and Arnold know where Broeker is. But Jeffrey said he wants to "reach out" to him with "some level of sensitivity" before revealing anything publicly."He could very well be a witness," Jeffrey said. "Although to the best of our knowledge he wasn't aware that he was being surveilled for 25 years."For years, the church has insisted that it doesn't hire private investigators. It has said its attorneys sometimes hire them as part of standard litigation practice to protect the church's interests.But the lawsuit says Marrick and Arnold dealt directly with Miscavige's staff, not attorneys, and that Miscavige feared Broeker might one day try to reclaim his position.Broeker left quietly and was not a threat to Scientology, Jeffrey said. The surveillance operation "just seems inconsistent with their mission." http://www.tampabay.com/news/scientology/church-of-scientology-paid-two-private-investigators-millions-to-trail/1252846More tags Quantum Meruit, Promissory Estoppel, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Fraud, Negligent Misrepresentation, Breach of Contract, Theft of Services.
