1
00:00:13,972 --> 00:00:18,977
I promised not to talk about my visit
Not to mention that I had met him.

2
00:00:20,771 --> 00:00:22,940
Neither about the trips nor the houses...

3
00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:25,609
It was part of the oath.

4
00:00:27,736 --> 00:00:31,281
It was beautiful to be part
of a brotherhood like that.

5
00:00:32,031 --> 00:00:36,203
I promised not to tell anything.

6
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:46,505
All the gurus say:
"Our followers are free.

7
00:00:47,297 --> 00:00:51,009
We don't put chains on their feet
not even in the hands."

8
00:00:53,262 --> 00:00:55,764
You trust the guru.

9
00:00:55,848 --> 00:00:59,309
You are not naive
for letting the guru guide you, right?

10
00:01:00,686 --> 00:01:02,229
I just wanted to do yoga.

11
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:04,897
I didn't know there would be sex

12
00:01:05,524 --> 00:01:07,985
until they locked me up
for five days.

13
00:01:09,945 --> 00:01:14,825
The lack of freedom
of the victims is due to mental barriers

14
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:18,370
that the guru himself has created.

15
00:01:20,497 --> 00:01:23,375
French law is clear:

16
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:27,171
abuse someone in your care

17
00:01:27,254 --> 00:01:29,047
It is a serious problem.

18
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:32,843
I can't stay
with arms crossed.

19
00:01:34,261 --> 00:01:41,226
TWISTED YOGA: UNMASKING THE GUR� 

20
00:01:43,437 --> 00:01:49,443
CHAPTER TWO: INITIATION

21
00:01:58,619 --> 00:02:01,538
I went by train to Paris.

22
00:02:03,582 --> 00:02:06,877
The receptionist at the Tara Yoga Center
from London

23
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,755
he gave me the number
from a woman I didn't know.

24
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:10,964
EUROSTAR - DEPARTURES

25
00:02:11,048 --> 00:02:12,090
I think she was Romanian.

26
00:02:12,174 --> 00:02:14,134
We communicated on Telegram,

27
00:02:14,218 --> 00:02:17,054
a secure messaging application.

28
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:19,181
But it was taken for granted

29
00:02:19,264 --> 00:02:22,017
that I should delete the messages
as soon as you receive them.

30
00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:29,441
He told me it was something totally secret
and that he couldn't tell anyone where he was going.

31
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:37,699
I told my parents
that I was going on a silent retreat

32
00:02:37,783 --> 00:02:38,784
in Denmark.

33
00:02:39,535 --> 00:02:41,828
It was better not to ask questions,

34
00:02:41,912 --> 00:02:46,124
just pay attention to them
and believe that I was where I had to be.

35
00:02:48,669 --> 00:02:53,048
That's how I got the idea
that he would not be reachable.

36
00:02:59,638 --> 00:03:03,934
They invited me
after the second year.

37
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,520
It said: "Grieg invites you to meet him.

38
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:10,357
It's a spiritual retreat
which will be very beneficial."

39
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,610
I took a plane from Copenhagen to Paris.

40
00:03:18,657 --> 00:03:19,741
At the station,

41
00:03:19,825 --> 00:03:22,244
A girl asked me if I was Claire.

42
00:03:22,327 --> 00:03:23,328
It's my middle name.

43
00:03:23,412 --> 00:03:25,330
I don't know why he used that name.

44
00:03:25,414 --> 00:03:27,791
I told him my name was Ashleigh.

45
00:03:27,875 --> 00:03:29,668
and me...

46
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,588
He took me to the car.

47
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:36,258
I had to give him the cell phone.

48
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:41,471
I took out the SIM card
and wrapped it in aluminum foil.

49
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:42,848
And the cell phone too.

50
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:47,936
He told me, "We're like the FBI or the CIA."

51
00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:49,188
They told me:

52
00:03:49,271 --> 00:03:51,565
"For your safety we need...

53
00:03:51,648 --> 00:03:53,567
It's better that you don't know where we're going,

54
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:56,486
so put on this hat

55
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:58,655
and these tinted glasses."

56
00:04:01,533 --> 00:04:05,537
They told me that Interpol
He had an arrest warrant.

57
00:04:07,289 --> 00:04:10,918
That the spiritual guide was a fugitive
and it was hidden.

58
00:04:11,877 --> 00:04:16,673
May your human rights
they had been raped.

59
00:04:17,757 --> 00:04:22,930
That it was the fault of the Romanian police
because it was corrupt.

60
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:28,727
I was nervous,
but we trust the organization.

61
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:31,480
"Okay, this is a secret thing.

62
00:04:31,563 --> 00:04:32,856
and they want to protect us.

63
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:36,401
They don't tell us where it is
because it is hidden

64
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:39,196
for everything that has happened to him." You know?

65
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:45,244
To the men...

66
00:04:45,327 --> 00:04:46,662
JOINED IN 2016, DENMARK

67
00:04:46,745 --> 00:04:50,165
...they didn't talk to us much about him
at school,

68
00:04:51,166 --> 00:04:52,793
so I was curious.

69
00:04:54,503 --> 00:05:00,884
I also asked if my tantric partners
They had seen him or had gone to visit him.

70
00:05:00,968 --> 00:05:02,469
But right away

71
00:05:02,553 --> 00:05:06,390
They told me they had never seen it.

72
00:05:07,266 --> 00:05:09,560
I had no reason to doubt it.

73
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:11,645
I thought, "Oh, okay."

74
00:05:11,728 --> 00:05:15,774
That was the first time I asked myself:

75
00:05:15,858 --> 00:05:19,736
"There are people who go to see it
and we don't know anything?"

76
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:21,822
There are secret camps and retreats

77
00:05:21,905 --> 00:05:24,491
where people spend weeks.

78
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:28,579
Didn't you tell Ziggy?

79
00:05:29,037 --> 00:05:29,872
No.

80
00:05:29,955 --> 00:05:31,248
JOINED IN 2014, DENMARK

81
00:05:31,331 --> 00:05:33,083
- Why?
- I couldn't.

82
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,961
I took an oath.
It was forbidden to say anything.

83
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,549
I couldn't tell Ziggy,
I was under oath.

84
00:05:41,592 --> 00:05:44,636
GREGORIAN BIVOLARU ANNOUNCES
"MIRACULOUS CURES" IN COSTINESTI

85
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,556
In Romania
There were some interesting articles.

86
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:49,933
BIVOLARU GENERATES 4 MILLION EUROS PER YEAR

87
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:51,310
Very crazy stories.

88
00:05:51,393 --> 00:05:54,073
"THEY BLAME ME FOR USING PARANORMAL METHODS
TO KILL CEAU? ESCU".

89
00:05:54,146 --> 00:05:55,147
Scandals.

90
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:56,064
SIX YEAR SENTENCE

91
00:05:56,148 --> 00:05:57,232
They told us...

92
00:05:57,316 --> 00:05:59,067
SEXUAL ACTS WITH MINORS

93
00:05:59,151 --> 00:06:03,280
...that they were accusing him wrongly,
just as they had done before.

94
00:06:03,655 --> 00:06:06,074
That's the only thing we knew.

95
00:06:09,912 --> 00:06:13,207
It gave me the feeling
that we were going too far from the city,

96
00:06:13,290 --> 00:06:14,666
towards the outskirts.

97
00:06:15,751 --> 00:06:17,794
I told myself: "Let yourself go."

98
00:06:19,463 --> 00:06:20,672
"Let yourself go and that's it."

99
00:06:21,798 --> 00:06:22,966
"Let yourself go."

100
00:06:25,052 --> 00:06:27,262
When we get home,

101
00:06:27,346 --> 00:06:29,556
with glasses and hat
still on,

102
00:06:30,474 --> 00:06:32,142
They took me inside.

103
00:06:36,021 --> 00:06:37,523
The house made it clear to me

104
00:06:37,606 --> 00:06:39,733
that we were on the outskirts.

105
00:06:39,816 --> 00:06:43,487
It was quite big,
It had three floors and many rooms.

106
00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:48,951
And the fence had like a green thing...

107
00:06:49,493 --> 00:06:51,286
Like a tarp or a net.

108
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:05,217
The French authorities
They have known Gregorian Bivolaru since 2016.

109
00:07:05,551 --> 00:07:08,679
NATIONAL POLICE OF FRANCE

110
00:07:09,137 --> 00:07:13,058
But even before we already knew
which was not a normal yoga movement.

111
00:07:16,353 --> 00:07:21,608
The MISA movement
had already received complaints

112
00:07:22,401 --> 00:07:27,447
by the neighbors, who thought
that there were suspicious activities.

113
00:07:29,658 --> 00:07:33,579
We investigate
and we discovered six locations...

114
00:07:35,914 --> 00:07:38,876
a lot of participants
and a lot of victims,

115
00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:43,630
surely
for a long period of time.

116
00:07:45,632 --> 00:07:50,012
And the question we asked ourselves
At that time it was:

117
00:07:50,095 --> 00:07:55,684
Is it organized crime?
Kidnapping? Human trafficking?

118
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:57,686
Or are they sectarian crimes?

119
00:08:02,816 --> 00:08:05,152
We enter the house...

120
00:08:06,153 --> 00:08:07,446
and...

121
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:11,074
There were two girls on the couch watching porn,

122
00:08:11,158 --> 00:08:13,243
hardcore porn, on TV.

123
00:08:14,912 --> 00:08:17,956
They laughed, turned off the TV and left.

124
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,666
to another room.

125
00:08:21,877 --> 00:08:24,087
They took me to my room.

126
00:08:28,217 --> 00:08:31,136
When I arrived,
There were more than 20 people.

127
00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:32,220
All women.

128
00:08:32,763 --> 00:08:36,433
Some were girls like us

129
00:08:36,517 --> 00:08:37,934
who were visiting.

130
00:08:38,018 --> 00:08:43,273
And there were others, those who controlled
the operation or were in charge.

131
00:08:45,442 --> 00:08:49,029
Those are the ones who received us.
They were all Romanian.

132
00:08:49,112 --> 00:08:53,784
During the time I was in Paris,
The people in charge were all Romanian.

133
00:08:54,409 --> 00:08:55,494
you feel

134
00:08:55,577 --> 00:08:58,247
that everything is perfectly organized.

135
00:09:01,583 --> 00:09:03,669
They immediately checked our suitcases.

136
00:09:03,752 --> 00:09:05,462
looking for specific things:

137
00:09:05,546 --> 00:09:07,923
a second mobile phone or some document.

138
00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:10,926
They took anything from us
that could identify us

139
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:13,220
and all devices.

140
00:09:14,513 --> 00:09:16,890
Then they explained the program to us

141
00:09:16,974 --> 00:09:20,435
and they told us that we would meet Grieg.

142
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:21,603
but first

143
00:09:21,687 --> 00:09:24,022
There are other things we had to do.

144
00:09:26,775 --> 00:09:28,402
I had to take the oath.

145
00:09:28,485 --> 00:09:31,029
Same thing, putting your hand on the Bible

146
00:09:31,113 --> 00:09:33,782
and swear by my health
and my spiritual evolution

147
00:09:33,866 --> 00:09:36,910
that I would never say anything
of what happened in that house.

148
00:09:36,994 --> 00:09:42,082
I had to sign some documents
in which I accepted being punished.

149
00:09:42,165 --> 00:09:44,668
One of the punishments to which he agreed

150
00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:48,046
it was having my head shaved
for five years

151
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:52,217
if they caught me stealing
the secret teachings

152
00:09:52,301 --> 00:09:53,427
of the house.

153
00:09:55,512 --> 00:10:00,225
I knew that sexual initiation
It was part of tantra,

154
00:10:00,309 --> 00:10:02,436
and it gave me the impression that...

155
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,191
they were surely carrying out
those initiations

156
00:10:07,274 --> 00:10:10,652
and the spiritual guide was participating.

157
00:10:16,366 --> 00:10:17,367
I knew it.

158
00:10:18,327 --> 00:10:21,705
I knew there would be a sexual initiation.

159
00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:23,540
JOINED IN 2017, ENGLAND

160
00:10:23,624 --> 00:10:29,004
It was an opportunity
to achieve maximum satisfaction,

161
00:10:29,087 --> 00:10:31,715
extreme happiness and enlightenment.

162
00:10:32,466 --> 00:10:34,218
It was a promise:

163
00:10:34,927 --> 00:10:39,890
"We guarantee you will experience
these things and everything will change."

164
00:10:45,854 --> 00:10:48,190
I grew up in Oxford.

165
00:10:50,484 --> 00:10:52,361
I had a privileged childhood.

166
00:10:52,444 --> 00:10:55,280
We were a very lucky family.

167
00:10:56,114 --> 00:10:59,660
I went to a private school,
The vacations were incredible...

168
00:11:01,745 --> 00:11:05,916
She was a very sensitive girl. Very shy.

169
00:11:07,251 --> 00:11:09,670
As a teenager he changed a lot.

170
00:11:10,337 --> 00:11:16,718
You start going out, drinking and, well...
to smoke and that.

171
00:11:17,636 --> 00:11:18,636
To have a good time.

172
00:11:24,434 --> 00:11:28,522
I was approaching 30
and he went out a lot to party.

173
00:11:28,605 --> 00:11:31,275
I was in a pretty difficult relationship.

174
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:35,529
I realized I was following a pattern
with my relationships

175
00:11:35,612 --> 00:11:37,614
and with the people I liked.

176
00:11:38,073 --> 00:11:41,827
And the answer was to leave
and catch a fart.

177
00:11:42,578 --> 00:11:45,873
So I didn't feel anything for a while.

178
00:11:46,498 --> 00:11:50,836
When I turned 29
I started going to self-help groups,

179
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:53,881
I stopped going out so much

180
00:11:54,798 --> 00:11:58,510
and I started to get interested
for yoga and meditation.

181
00:12:01,555 --> 00:12:05,976
There I found the Tara Yoga Center.

182
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:12,024
And everything made sense,
It was a moment of lucidity.

183
00:12:13,734 --> 00:12:17,571
I was very intrigued by the possibility.

184
00:12:17,654 --> 00:12:23,202
to live such a spiritual experience
making love

185
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:32,836
The first week I was in Paris

186
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,756
I was focused on doing the tasks:

187
00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:39,176
watch porn movies
that they asked us to see

188
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:41,720
and write what we felt

189
00:12:41,803 --> 00:12:44,681
and how we saw women
of those videos.

190
00:12:45,224 --> 00:12:50,270
It was like everything we had been through
at school

191
00:12:50,354 --> 00:12:51,939
out for this.

192
00:12:55,359 --> 00:12:58,070
There was a woman
which had been going on for two or three months.

193
00:12:58,153 --> 00:13:01,949
I asked him when he was leaving.
and he said, "I hope soon."

194
00:13:02,032 --> 00:13:04,076
But he has to give you permission.

195
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:06,662
She couldn't... She didn't know when she would leave.

196
00:13:07,037 --> 00:13:10,541
I remember seeing
who had won Miss Shakti

197
00:13:11,333 --> 00:13:12,417
in August.

198
00:13:12,918 --> 00:13:15,796
He was there, with his head shaved.

199
00:13:16,588 --> 00:13:19,883
They had written a note
who said he had a very big ego

200
00:13:19,967 --> 00:13:23,136
and they had to put her in her place.

201
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:26,306
But I was like... isolated from the rest.

202
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:28,267
I thought: "That's what they do to him."

203
00:13:28,350 --> 00:13:31,687
to the winner of Miss Shakti,
Do they shave his head?"

204
00:13:36,191 --> 00:13:37,818
It became increasingly clearer

205
00:13:37,901 --> 00:13:41,446
that all those women
They had gone through initiation.

206
00:13:41,864 --> 00:13:43,991
I know they told us: "Sometimes it doesn't."

207
00:13:44,074 --> 00:13:46,535
But all those who were there
they had passed it.

208
00:13:50,831 --> 00:13:54,293
They were there for several days
putting these ideas in our heads

209
00:13:54,793 --> 00:13:58,005
and on the fifth or sixth day they tell us:

210
00:13:58,088 --> 00:14:00,883
"Okay, now that you've done
all these things

211
00:14:00,966 --> 00:14:04,469
we can tell you
that the reason why you are here

212
00:14:04,553 --> 00:14:07,848
It's for you to know
and take advantage of the opportunity

213
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,559
to make sexual initiation to you".

214
00:14:10,934 --> 00:14:14,438
They told us as if we could decide.

215
00:14:23,322 --> 00:14:26,033
In my case, he decided that I would go to him

216
00:14:26,116 --> 00:14:28,785
on my 30th birthday.

217
00:14:31,997 --> 00:14:34,499
I took a driver, like the first day.

218
00:14:36,502 --> 00:14:38,754
With the hat and glasses.

219
00:14:39,588 --> 00:14:41,381
They took me to a floor.

220
00:14:41,465 --> 00:14:46,053
I think he parked in an underground garage.

221
00:14:48,764 --> 00:14:51,016
almost all my friends
they had already gone.

222
00:14:54,102 --> 00:14:56,563
It seemed incredible to me that,
after so many years,

223
00:14:56,647 --> 00:14:59,733
the neighbors didn't notice

224
00:14:59,816 --> 00:15:02,611
that these guys
They didn't stop coming and going.

225
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:06,198
Every day. All day.

226
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:10,327
Minimum three or four girls a day.

227
00:15:11,662 --> 00:15:13,580
Some went every month.

228
00:15:14,248 --> 00:15:15,624
Your favorites.

229
00:15:19,002 --> 00:15:20,420
I knocked on the door

230
00:15:20,504 --> 00:15:22,965
and we had to wait a few minutes.

231
00:15:24,299 --> 00:15:26,218
And then Grieg opened the door.

232
00:15:26,301 --> 00:15:31,974
He welcomed me,
He hugged me and congratulated me.

233
00:15:32,057 --> 00:15:35,811
Then he told me to go
at the end of the hallway

234
00:15:35,894 --> 00:15:38,146
and he returned to his room.

235
00:15:38,897 --> 00:15:39,731
"Okay.

236
00:15:39,815 --> 00:15:42,568
The person with whom everyone
is obsessed

237
00:15:42,651 --> 00:15:45,779
"It's this old guy."

238
00:15:45,863 --> 00:15:50,075
I looked into his eyes and it was like...

239
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:54,371
as if they were empty.

240
00:15:56,123 --> 00:15:59,710
They attract you
but at the same time they are empty.

241
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,255
I didn't perceive any emotion.

242
00:16:03,714 --> 00:16:04,714
Nothing.

243
00:16:13,348 --> 00:16:16,393
I'm in a super small apartment
and very rare

244
00:16:17,060 --> 00:16:19,062
in which there are only books.

245
00:16:21,982 --> 00:16:24,776
There are shelves
on both sides of the hallway

246
00:16:25,319 --> 00:16:27,321
and in all rooms.

247
00:16:31,283 --> 00:16:35,996
in the hallway
There is a toilet and a bathroom.

248
00:16:40,918 --> 00:16:44,213
In a small corner there is a minibar.

249
00:16:46,590 --> 00:16:50,177
And then there is the room,
which is normal size.

250
00:16:52,471 --> 00:16:56,725
There they put the girls with whom later
has sexual relations.

251
00:17:00,938 --> 00:17:03,899
There are always several girls.

252
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:09,905
They are all sweating.
They take off your clothes so you don't...

253
00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:11,490
Sometimes they are naked

254
00:17:11,573 --> 00:17:13,700
or they put something very short on you,

255
00:17:13,784 --> 00:17:15,410
but it's not your clothes.

256
00:17:15,493 --> 00:17:17,204
Practice yoga and you will get...

257
00:17:17,287 --> 00:17:19,289
The room is closed from the outside,

258
00:17:20,123 --> 00:17:22,084
so we can't open the door.

259
00:17:24,211 --> 00:17:25,420
You sleep there,

260
00:17:25,503 --> 00:17:28,882
you eat there...
You do everything in that space.

261
00:17:30,717 --> 00:17:33,053
There were some girls who made him food

262
00:17:33,136 --> 00:17:34,137
and they sent it to him.

263
00:17:34,221 --> 00:17:36,223
He ate a little and what he didn't want

264
00:17:36,306 --> 00:17:38,684
I left it in the minibar for the girls.

265
00:17:40,936 --> 00:17:43,689
But the rules prevented you
throw anything in the trash.

266
00:17:43,772 --> 00:17:45,482
You had to eat it all

267
00:17:45,566 --> 00:17:48,485
before opening the minibar
and catch the new food.

268
00:17:48,569 --> 00:17:51,488
They ate moldy food, it was like...

269
00:17:51,572 --> 00:17:53,866
They had to do it, they were the rules.

270
00:17:53,949 --> 00:17:55,701
If not, you would get into trouble.

271
00:17:58,662 --> 00:18:01,832
from time to time
They took him to some girl.

272
00:18:02,332 --> 00:18:06,003
You heard them having sex
for hours, with loud music.

273
00:18:08,213 --> 00:18:09,423
The girl comes out

274
00:18:09,506 --> 00:18:12,551
and shortly after they come to pick her up
and they take her

275
00:18:12,634 --> 00:18:13,719
to a third house.

276
00:18:13,802 --> 00:18:19,349
And shortly after,
another appears to replace it.

277
00:18:19,433 --> 00:18:22,394
There were girls who said:
"I've been here six times now.

278
00:18:23,145 --> 00:18:25,355
I love it. It is an incredible experience.

279
00:18:25,439 --> 00:18:27,441
"I get a lot of this."

280
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:29,568
They believed it.

281
00:18:29,651 --> 00:18:31,195
Did you believe them?

282
00:18:32,988 --> 00:18:34,865
In a way, perhaps.

283
00:18:35,699 --> 00:18:41,288
I wasn't entirely sure,
but I was open to understanding it.

284
00:18:49,463 --> 00:18:52,216
It was a fantastic experience.

285
00:18:53,133 --> 00:18:55,344
We begin the ritual...

286
00:18:56,970 --> 00:19:00,307
with transfiguration in depth.

287
00:19:01,767 --> 00:19:05,229
Just what they teach you
in tantra classes.

288
00:19:08,148 --> 00:19:13,654
You see yourself and the other person
as deep spiritual beings.

289
00:19:18,325 --> 00:19:22,955
It's the perfect union
between masculine and feminine energy.

290
00:19:24,164 --> 00:19:25,791
The yin and the yang.

291
00:19:26,458 --> 00:19:27,876
Shiva and Shakti.

292
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,800
I almost ceased to exist.

293
00:19:38,554 --> 00:19:42,432
Somehow I came out of my own body.

294
00:19:45,477 --> 00:19:49,189
He guided me step by step.

295
00:19:54,403 --> 00:19:58,615
For me it was a spectacular meeting
and very pretty.

296
00:19:58,699 --> 00:20:00,951
After that it was complete.

297
00:20:06,164 --> 00:20:11,628
I wanted to believe it was going to be, I don't know, like...

298
00:20:12,296 --> 00:20:15,591
a peak moment
on my spiritual journey.

299
00:20:15,674 --> 00:20:17,926
I wanted it to be like that, of course.

300
00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:22,639
I've never had it easy.

301
00:20:23,724 --> 00:20:28,520
I was never a girl, I don't know,
voluptuous nor full of vitality.

302
00:20:29,730 --> 00:20:32,858
I never felt
in the same category as, I don't know,

303
00:20:32,941 --> 00:20:36,069
that the girls of Miss Shakti,
with eyes so open.

304
00:20:38,530 --> 00:20:41,200
I am from the south of Argentina,

305
00:20:41,283 --> 00:20:43,243
from the city of Bariloche.

306
00:20:44,411 --> 00:20:46,496
In the mountains, on the border with Chile.

307
00:20:48,165 --> 00:20:52,628
When I turned 18,
I moved alone to Buenos Aires.

308
00:20:55,005 --> 00:20:57,549
He took drugs on the weekends.

309
00:20:59,843 --> 00:21:02,387
And then I discovered Atman

310
00:21:02,471 --> 00:21:06,517
and all the nice members
who cared about me

311
00:21:07,059 --> 00:21:10,312
and they focused more on the spiritual.

312
00:21:11,772 --> 00:21:13,774
It was an improvement.

313
00:21:15,776 --> 00:21:21,615
I realized all the trauma
and the pain that was inside,

314
00:21:21,698 --> 00:21:26,370
since my childhood,
which I had never faced before.

315
00:21:28,330 --> 00:21:31,750
I wanted to be more involved
at school,

316
00:21:32,417 --> 00:21:33,836
so I moved to Denmark.

317
00:21:35,337 --> 00:21:39,800
I lived in the shram, I ate there,
He did everything there. He almost didn't go out.

318
00:21:41,635 --> 00:21:44,721
I really believed
what to do the initiation with him

319
00:21:45,305 --> 00:21:46,640
would help me

320
00:21:46,723 --> 00:21:51,228
I saw it as the next step
to continue evolving.

321
00:21:59,027 --> 00:22:02,322
Before you go, basically,
you have to drink water.

322
00:22:02,406 --> 00:22:06,159
About two liters or... A lot of water.

323
00:22:08,161 --> 00:22:11,039
You bless the water with a special formula

324
00:22:11,123 --> 00:22:13,959
that Grieg gives you.

325
00:22:16,003 --> 00:22:19,464
You have to shower and shave.

326
00:22:20,174 --> 00:22:21,758
Shave everything.

327
00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:25,971
They tell you to practice a lot of yoga,
that you meditate

328
00:22:26,054 --> 00:22:28,515
and may your spiritual state be very good

329
00:22:29,183 --> 00:22:31,351
to, in some way,
prepare yourself sexually

330
00:22:31,435 --> 00:22:37,608
and, when you know him, you are ready,
focused and down to earth.

331
00:22:43,614 --> 00:22:46,325
Came in the middle of the night,
I was asleep,

332
00:22:47,075 --> 00:22:50,871
and he touched the sole of my foot with his finger
when I was asleep

333
00:22:50,954 --> 00:22:52,164
and I woke up like this.

334
00:22:52,497 --> 00:22:54,166
He told me: "It's your turn."

335
00:22:57,628 --> 00:23:00,797
We had prepared
for this moment,

336
00:23:01,798 --> 00:23:03,425
for this monumental event.

337
00:23:06,136 --> 00:23:10,349
But I couldn't stop thinking about the same thing
all the time:

338
00:23:10,432 --> 00:23:13,769
"Shiva awaits you at the top of the mountain.

339
00:23:14,228 --> 00:23:17,272
"Shiva awaits you at the top of the mountain."

340
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,905
I don't remember much about the sexual part.
because I came out of my own body.

341
00:23:24,988 --> 00:23:27,658
I was disoriented, paralyzed.

342
00:23:28,867 --> 00:23:31,286
many of the memories
I have them deleted,

343
00:23:31,370 --> 00:23:32,621
luckily.

344
00:23:33,997 --> 00:23:37,793
But yes, it was a long process.

345
00:23:39,211 --> 00:23:41,421
About two hours in total.

346
00:23:43,257 --> 00:23:46,218
Yes. You start with one of the postures...

347
00:23:46,301 --> 00:23:48,220
I think they are from the Kamasutra.

348
00:23:48,303 --> 00:23:52,099
In addition to the postures,
you also learn to go from one to another

349
00:23:52,683 --> 00:23:56,353
with elegance
so that there continues to be... well...

350
00:23:57,062 --> 00:23:58,480
penetration, let's say.

351
00:24:06,071 --> 00:24:09,116
Suddenly I think:
"I don't want to do it."

352
00:24:12,202 --> 00:24:14,413
And almost immediately...

353
00:24:14,496 --> 00:24:16,790
...another voice tells me:

354
00:24:16,874 --> 00:24:18,917
"Don't be superficial.

355
00:24:19,001 --> 00:24:21,879
Don't be frivolous.
You have to transfigure it."

356
00:24:23,755 --> 00:24:25,090
Transfiguration.

357
00:24:25,924 --> 00:24:27,551
The doctrine of the school.

358
00:24:28,427 --> 00:24:30,095
In the course of tantra they tell you:

359
00:24:32,139 --> 00:24:34,975
"Don't focus on the physical,
Don't be superficial.

360
00:24:35,475 --> 00:24:37,019
That attitude is not spiritual."

361
00:24:38,896 --> 00:24:40,772
Did you transfigure him?

362
00:24:42,149 --> 00:24:43,275
Yes.

363
00:25:00,417 --> 00:25:03,253
The idea is to look at a person

364
00:25:03,337 --> 00:25:06,340
and really see

365
00:25:06,423 --> 00:25:10,177
how your body changes shape

366
00:25:10,260 --> 00:25:12,721
and its appearance.

367
00:25:22,064 --> 00:25:25,567
When you transfigure your partner

368
00:25:25,651 --> 00:25:30,280
for Shiva or the great man he could be,
it ends up becoming real.

369
00:25:35,077 --> 00:25:38,205
You need a lot of transfiguration.

370
00:25:38,288 --> 00:25:40,666
You have to be able to see beyond.

371
00:25:41,333 --> 00:25:43,794
Because if not, then he's an old man and that's it.

372
00:25:43,877 --> 00:25:46,213
Why would you want to be with him?

373
00:25:49,842 --> 00:25:52,261
But if you see it as Shiva,

374
00:25:52,344 --> 00:25:56,431
as the spiritual teacher who will help you
to evolve spiritually,

375
00:25:57,015 --> 00:25:58,892
then things change.

376
00:26:01,186 --> 00:26:05,148
It was very very clear
that he did not want to continue with the initiation.

377
00:26:05,941 --> 00:26:08,569
They told me: "Write to him and give it to him."

378
00:26:09,611 --> 00:26:12,447
I told him I had to face
to my inner demons,

379
00:26:12,865 --> 00:26:14,700
but I expected you to support me

380
00:26:14,783 --> 00:26:16,243
as a teacher

381
00:26:16,326 --> 00:26:20,706
with yoga classes and meditation.

382
00:26:21,373 --> 00:26:23,417
He answered me full of...

383
00:26:24,418 --> 00:26:26,253
It was as if the page was screaming at me.

384
00:26:26,336 --> 00:26:29,631
You could see the rage, the anger
and anger on paper.

385
00:26:29,715 --> 00:26:33,552
There were things in capital letters
and written with a red pen.

386
00:26:33,635 --> 00:26:35,304
It said: "You lie!"

387
00:26:35,387 --> 00:26:36,638
YOU LIE!

388
00:26:36,722 --> 00:26:38,724
And I: "How am I lying?

389
00:26:38,807 --> 00:26:40,225
"It's what I feel."

390
00:26:40,684 --> 00:26:44,354
"You lie because your ego is very big
and you have ill will."

391
00:26:44,438 --> 00:26:45,731
BAD WILL!

392
00:26:45,814 --> 00:26:47,983
And he wrote to me:

393
00:26:49,193 --> 00:26:52,571
"You're the only one who feels this way."
because demons manipulate you

394
00:26:52,654 --> 00:26:55,240
and they do not want you to receive divine power.

395
00:26:55,741 --> 00:26:59,328
I manifest all my love towards you

396
00:26:59,411 --> 00:27:04,458
and you only think about strange things,
macabre, sick and perverted.

397
00:27:04,541 --> 00:27:08,712
You have no good will
nor aspirations to know God.

398
00:27:09,338 --> 00:27:11,840
Do you feel empathy now? "Tell me!"

399
00:27:11,924 --> 00:27:14,426
It was like he was yelling at me.

400
00:27:14,968 --> 00:27:15,969
He told me:

401
00:27:16,637 --> 00:27:18,263
"The initiation...

402
00:27:19,890 --> 00:27:21,767
"I will exorcise those demons."

403
00:27:22,476 --> 00:27:24,269
Like an exorcism.

404
00:27:24,353 --> 00:27:26,939
They told me:
"He has scheduled you for tonight."

405
00:27:27,022 --> 00:27:29,691
When they gave me the letter.
"He wants to see you tonight.

406
00:27:29,775 --> 00:27:31,151
"He summoned you."

407
00:27:31,527 --> 00:27:33,028
I went to the meditation room

408
00:27:33,111 --> 00:27:35,739
which is in the basement because there is silence.

409
00:27:35,822 --> 00:27:38,867
I went and sat there
because I knew that no one could speak

410
00:27:38,951 --> 00:27:40,536
and I started praying.

411
00:27:42,329 --> 00:27:43,747
I prayed to my grandmother.

412
00:27:44,414 --> 00:27:46,917
I told him:
"Grandma, please give me a sign.

413
00:27:48,168 --> 00:27:49,670
Tell me what to do."

414
00:27:49,753 --> 00:27:51,713
"Give me a sign."

415
00:27:52,464 --> 00:27:55,092
At that moment it occurred to me

416
00:27:55,175 --> 00:27:56,510
that maybe I could leave.

417
00:27:57,386 --> 00:27:59,847
Before it seemed crazy to me to leave,

418
00:27:59,930 --> 00:28:02,474
It wouldn't have crossed my mind.

419
00:28:04,101 --> 00:28:06,728
There was a fence
and the door was locked.

420
00:28:07,521 --> 00:28:09,815
They had all my things. My mobile.

421
00:28:11,108 --> 00:28:12,192
My wallet.

422
00:28:12,901 --> 00:28:16,613
I didn't know how to speak Romanian,
I didn't know where I was.

423
00:28:20,617 --> 00:28:23,161
Nothing seemed real.
I thought I was going crazy.

424
00:28:23,245 --> 00:28:26,373
I thought I was in a state of psychosis.

425
00:28:29,126 --> 00:28:32,588
I didn't know what world I lived in.
I didn't trust myself.

426
00:28:33,463 --> 00:28:35,215
But not from them either.

427
00:28:36,884 --> 00:28:39,303
"No. This is wrong. It's wrong."

428
00:28:39,845 --> 00:28:42,514
At that moment something clicked.

429
00:28:42,890 --> 00:28:45,893
"I have to go.
"I have to get out of here right now."

430
00:28:50,439 --> 00:28:52,733
Before they let me out,

431
00:28:52,816 --> 00:28:57,404
they made me write a statement
multi-page

432
00:28:57,821 --> 00:29:02,492
that I had to copy by hand,
word for word.

433
00:29:02,576 --> 00:29:05,037
Then you give it to them
to review it

434
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,457
and make sure nothing is missing
and that everything is correct.

435
00:29:09,124 --> 00:29:10,375
And then they told me:

436
00:29:10,459 --> 00:29:14,171
"Ah, yes, we have to record you
reading the statement."

437
00:29:14,254 --> 00:29:17,424
At that point,
I was not going to refuse or resist.

438
00:29:17,508 --> 00:29:18,967
I just wanted to leave.

439
00:29:20,886 --> 00:29:25,641
During my meeting with Grieg
everything went normally, naturally

440
00:29:25,724 --> 00:29:27,184
and with a lot of common sense,

441
00:29:27,267 --> 00:29:29,978
so I can't complain about anything

442
00:29:30,062 --> 00:29:33,565
that has traumatized me
during my meeting with Grieg.

443
00:29:33,649 --> 00:29:37,069
- It was like a legal document.
- I specify that...

444
00:29:37,152 --> 00:29:40,197
I had to read it looking at the camera
and I remember thinking:

445
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,157
"They are going to use this against me."

446
00:29:42,241 --> 00:29:47,371
I specify that nothing was done
against my will,

447
00:29:47,454 --> 00:29:49,206
that they have not raped me

448
00:29:49,957 --> 00:29:55,754
neither forced to do anything nor attacked
neither blackmailed nor hypnotized...

449
00:29:56,171 --> 00:30:03,095
...neither beaten nor insulted nor humiliated
neither tortured nor offended nor locked up.

450
00:30:03,470 --> 00:30:05,138
It sounded very legal.

451
00:30:05,222 --> 00:30:10,602
It was to say that nothing had happened to me.
and, if he said otherwise,

452
00:30:10,686 --> 00:30:12,104
That showed that he was lying.

453
00:30:12,479 --> 00:30:16,483
I have signed this declaration personally

454
00:30:16,567 --> 00:30:18,527
in the presence of two witnesses

455
00:30:18,610 --> 00:30:21,738
which confirm that he was
in full power

456
00:30:21,822 --> 00:30:23,949
when he wrote it and signed it.

457
00:30:24,032 --> 00:30:26,994
That gave them permission to let me go.

458
00:30:27,077 --> 00:30:29,246
Signed: Ashleigh Freckleton.

459
00:30:35,627 --> 00:30:37,754
The driver asked me
that where he was taking me

460
00:30:37,838 --> 00:30:40,883
and I told him:
"To the cheapest hotel in the city."

461
00:30:42,426 --> 00:30:44,636
"This has to be a nightmare.

462
00:30:45,846 --> 00:30:47,848
"How do I wake up?"

463
00:30:49,474 --> 00:30:53,604
CAIMADES, SECTARY CRIMES UNIT
FRENCH NATIONAL POLICE

464
00:30:54,271 --> 00:30:57,983
In France we have special measures

465
00:30:58,066 --> 00:31:01,737
to fight sectarian crimes.

466
00:31:03,822 --> 00:31:06,408
What's more,
the concept of "mental manipulation"

467
00:31:06,491 --> 00:31:09,077
It was created for sectarian crimes.

468
00:31:09,161 --> 00:31:12,706
It is something unique in France.

469
00:31:14,666 --> 00:31:17,836
"Abuse of weakness"
It is taking advantage of someone vulnerable.

470
00:31:18,629 --> 00:31:22,174
We are not talking about someone old or sick,

471
00:31:22,549 --> 00:31:26,011
but from someone who has been subjected
to a psychological control.

472
00:31:28,388 --> 00:31:31,725
Techniques are used and, progressively,
a psychological control is created

473
00:31:31,808 --> 00:31:36,813
that ends up deteriorating
the free will of the victim.

474
00:31:39,566 --> 00:31:42,069
The person loses their free will

475
00:31:42,152 --> 00:31:45,864
and agree to do things
which I wouldn't normally do.

476
00:31:55,791 --> 00:31:58,669
After initiation
with the spiritual guide

477
00:31:59,336 --> 00:32:01,880
I was exhausted and disoriented.

478
00:32:03,173 --> 00:32:05,133
I felt very weak.

479
00:32:05,551 --> 00:32:08,178
I think I was shaking.

480
00:32:09,388 --> 00:32:13,809
But then he approached me
one of the coordinators

481
00:32:14,309 --> 00:32:17,938
and he told me: "I am part
of a special integration group.

482
00:32:18,021 --> 00:32:19,773
All women.

483
00:32:19,857 --> 00:32:23,694
But it's somewhere else. There is a swimming pool.

484
00:32:23,777 --> 00:32:25,737
It is close to a very beautiful city.

485
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,408
People call him
'the garden of miracles'.

486
00:32:32,661 --> 00:32:38,250
Now that you know so many things
that most people don't know

487
00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:40,502
you have a responsibility.

488
00:32:41,670 --> 00:32:45,883
It's your responsibility
keep awareness high

489
00:32:45,966 --> 00:32:50,095
and not do things again
what did you do before,

490
00:32:50,179 --> 00:32:51,471
when you didn't know anything."

491
00:32:53,974 --> 00:32:57,644
He asked me if I was interested
and I told him yes.

492
00:33:00,230 --> 00:33:05,861
We went together
to the bus stop in Paris.

493
00:33:07,237 --> 00:33:12,492
It was the first time I slept
in 42 hours, more or less.

494
00:33:15,412 --> 00:33:20,292
When we arrive in Prague
They took us to a house on the outskirts.

495
00:33:21,460 --> 00:33:23,795
Right on the road out of Prague.

496
00:33:28,050 --> 00:33:33,263
They took me inside and explained to me
what was going to happen in the house.

497
00:33:34,264 --> 00:33:38,185
In the morning we had to do
erotic rituals.

498
00:33:41,188 --> 00:33:45,943
And then we had to do
a four hour shift,

499
00:33:46,026 --> 00:33:48,737
six days a week, as a webcam model.

500
00:33:49,905 --> 00:33:51,865
SEX CAM - NUDES

501
00:33:51,949 --> 00:33:53,283
ONLY $2.99 PER MINUTE

502
00:33:53,367 --> 00:33:54,910
LOOK AT LEXI! WET. PREPARED.

503
00:33:54,993 --> 00:33:56,703
PRIVATE SESSIONS FOR YOU - SEX CAM

504
00:33:56,787 --> 00:33:58,830
They gave us an explanation.

505
00:33:58,914 --> 00:33:59,748
DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE?

506
00:33:59,831 --> 00:34:02,626
As in the morning we did the rituals,

507
00:34:02,709 --> 00:34:07,840
all that energy was going to be useful
to increase our power

508
00:34:08,465 --> 00:34:13,262
and our magnetism
both in karma yoga and on the web.

509
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,933
And so we were going to be able to transmit
all that energy

510
00:34:18,016 --> 00:34:21,853
to the people who were watching us
and paying customers

511
00:34:21,937 --> 00:34:25,983
in the hope that these men
will connect with an energy

512
00:34:26,065 --> 00:34:29,444
stronger than the basic energy of sex.

513
00:34:31,321 --> 00:34:34,199
karma yoga
They paint it as an altruistic service

514
00:34:34,283 --> 00:34:38,829
What do you offer to get?
a higher purpose.

515
00:34:41,665 --> 00:34:45,043
We were going to save their souls,
somehow.

516
00:34:53,886 --> 00:34:57,054
We went down some stairs to the basement

517
00:34:57,139 --> 00:34:59,600
and, to the right,

518
00:34:59,683 --> 00:35:02,811
there was the Hot and Wet channel room.

519
00:35:04,104 --> 00:35:08,567
It was small, without ventilation,
It was hot and there were no windows.

520
00:35:11,278 --> 00:35:12,821
you connected

521
00:35:12,905 --> 00:35:15,032
and your page with the chat will open.

522
00:35:15,115 --> 00:35:17,743
MIRANDA, RELAXED,
POSE IN YOUR PROFILE PHOTO

523
00:35:17,826 --> 00:35:20,871
You saw yourself live.

524
00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:24,082
Sometimes the guys asked you:

525
00:35:24,166 --> 00:35:26,251
"What did you do yesterday afternoon?"

526
00:35:26,335 --> 00:35:30,047
The instructions were:
"Pretend you have normal lives.

527
00:35:30,130 --> 00:35:32,716
Tell them you've gone out for drinks
with your friends

528
00:35:32,799 --> 00:35:34,718
and then you made pasta at home."

529
00:35:34,801 --> 00:35:36,637
25% OFF - LIVE CHAT

530
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:38,222
They asked us for caution.

531
00:35:39,223 --> 00:35:41,683
They said there were people spying.

532
00:35:41,767 --> 00:35:43,644
That they wanted to set us up.

533
00:35:44,436 --> 00:35:47,940
What would they ask us?
if we practiced yoga.

534
00:35:48,023 --> 00:35:50,651
That they wanted to blow our cover.

535
00:35:52,778 --> 00:35:53,946
In those six months

536
00:35:54,029 --> 00:35:57,324
They didn't pay me anything
for any of the jobs I did.

537
00:36:00,244 --> 00:36:03,080
When I looked at myself on the screen...

538
00:36:03,163 --> 00:36:06,083
MIRANDA'S EYES LOOK INTO THE CAMERA
WITH SAFETY AND SEDUCTION

539
00:36:06,166 --> 00:36:09,795
...see beyond
of the cheap clothes he wore.

540
00:36:11,338 --> 00:36:16,093
And something that had already been happening
during all those years

541
00:36:16,176 --> 00:36:20,472
It's that I saw my body as something divine.

542
00:36:26,770 --> 00:36:28,647
You play a lot.

543
00:36:29,314 --> 00:36:31,650
The answer to the question has always been

544
00:36:31,733 --> 00:36:33,944
"yes, yes, yes, I believe and trust."

545
00:36:34,361 --> 00:36:37,406
But if suddenly
The answer is "maybe" or "no",

546
00:36:38,699 --> 00:36:43,120
There are... many aspects of your life,

547
00:36:43,203 --> 00:36:46,206
of your belief system,
of your relationships,

548
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,087
of everything that you can lose
according to your idea of reality.

549
00:36:52,171 --> 00:36:53,213
All.

550
00:36:53,297 --> 00:36:55,048
And this includes your...

551
00:36:56,258 --> 00:36:58,468
spiritual future or salvation.

552
00:37:15,485 --> 00:37:18,238
I bought the first ticket to Australia
that I found.

553
00:37:20,157 --> 00:37:23,911
I just wanted to be home with my mother
and my father, catch his breath.

554
00:37:25,746 --> 00:37:29,082
I spent a month without working,
trying to understand what had happened,

555
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:31,668
trying to analyze it
because I was very confused.

556
00:37:35,088 --> 00:37:37,174
A few months after returning home

557
00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:41,887
I... went to party
and I got a lot drunk.

558
00:37:41,970 --> 00:37:43,096
A lot.

559
00:37:43,180 --> 00:37:45,599
And I think I spilled it all to a friend.

560
00:37:45,974 --> 00:37:47,351
I ended up telling him.

561
00:37:47,935 --> 00:37:50,103
I was telling him what had happened

562
00:37:50,187 --> 00:37:53,440
and I remember the face he made,
He was shocked.

563
00:37:53,524 --> 00:37:54,983
He told me:

564
00:37:55,692 --> 00:37:58,529
"This is very strong. Very very strong."

565
00:37:59,279 --> 00:38:02,241
That's when I thought
that I had to tell it.

566
00:38:04,409 --> 00:38:06,119
Ashleigh calls me

567
00:38:07,454 --> 00:38:09,665
and he explains to me why he left it.

568
00:38:09,748 --> 00:38:11,458
CONCORDIA - NATHA YOGA CENTER

569
00:38:11,542 --> 00:38:13,669
I felt ashamed and guilty.

570
00:38:13,752 --> 00:38:15,392
TANTRA FOR WOMEN, ESOTERIC MEDITATION

571
00:38:18,715 --> 00:38:21,385
The first thing I think is:

572
00:38:21,468 --> 00:38:24,388
"Ashleigh barely has anything to do with
with the school.

573
00:38:24,930 --> 00:38:28,392
Yes to a woman
with that level of commitment to school

574
00:38:28,475 --> 00:38:32,187
They take her to meet
to the spiritual guide,

575
00:38:32,271 --> 00:38:35,190
my partners, obviously,

576
00:38:35,274 --> 00:38:37,526
practically
all the women at school,

577
00:38:38,026 --> 00:38:40,237
They've probably been through the same thing.

578
00:38:41,697 --> 00:38:44,575
It's disgusting. The poor ones.

579
00:38:47,578 --> 00:38:49,580
"But who is this guy?"

580
00:38:53,584 --> 00:38:57,462
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA

581
00:39:15,355 --> 00:39:18,567
ANDREEA POCOTILA
INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST

582
00:39:19,735 --> 00:39:24,656
I was in college
when the scandal was uncovered in 2004.

583
00:39:27,576 --> 00:39:30,454
I remember seeing the images on TV

584
00:39:30,537 --> 00:39:32,706
by Gregorian Bivolaru.

585
00:39:35,375 --> 00:39:38,879
I recently started
as an investigative journalist.

586
00:39:41,715 --> 00:39:44,801
I started to investigate further
this group.

587
00:39:50,974 --> 00:39:54,019
These newspapers span many years,

588
00:39:54,102 --> 00:39:57,606
since the early 90s

589
00:39:57,689 --> 00:40:01,485
until 2004,
when the scandal was uncovered.

590
00:40:04,154 --> 00:40:08,450
I was surprised
that was still happening

591
00:40:10,285 --> 00:40:12,913
because in Romania it has been known for years,

592
00:40:13,580 --> 00:40:16,041
for almost 30 years.

593
00:40:19,628 --> 00:40:23,215
300 MORE PEOPLE JOIN THE ARMY
OF THE DEVIL BY GREGORIAN BIVOLARU

594
00:40:25,092 --> 00:40:27,803
THE EMPIRE OF DESPERATION
FROM GUR� BIVOLARU

595
00:40:27,886 --> 00:40:29,847
THE POLICE ADMITS THAT THE GURÉ HAS WON

596
00:40:29,930 --> 00:40:32,808
In Romania everyone knows
to Gregorian Bivolaru.

597
00:40:32,891 --> 00:40:35,018
He was a famous person, basically.

598
00:40:35,102 --> 00:40:37,437
ORGASM: COSMOS IN FERENTARI

599
00:40:42,442 --> 00:40:44,611
NATHA states that she operates
according to Danish law,

600
00:40:44,695 --> 00:40:46,822
who did not organize any trip
to meet Bivolaru

601
00:40:46,905 --> 00:40:48,740
and is not responsible
of anyone's actions.

602
00:40:48,824 --> 00:40:51,702
NATHA affirms that she is independent
and complies with Swedish laws

603
00:40:51,785 --> 00:40:54,081
and that has no legal, financial ties
nor administrative with Bivolaru

604
00:40:54,121 --> 00:40:55,247
nor other Atman schools.

605
00:40:55,330 --> 00:40:58,250
He claims that those who knew Bivolaru
they did it on their own

606
00:40:58,333 --> 00:41:00,627
and respect the suggestions
and student criticism.

607
00:41:01,712 --> 00:41:03,922
Tara Yoga Center
affirms that the judicial process

608
00:41:04,006 --> 00:41:05,507
prevents him from making statements.

609
00:41:05,591 --> 00:41:07,342
Atman claims he is not responsible

610
00:41:07,426 --> 00:41:10,389
of the private life of employees, students
nor teachers from affiliated schools,

611
00:41:10,429 --> 00:41:13,515
that the accusations have not been proven
and are under investigation.

612
00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:15,639
All centers
They condemn any form of abuse.

613
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,354
We got in touch
with Gregorian Bivolaru

614
00:41:19,438 --> 00:41:20,480
but he didn't answer.

615
00:41:20,564 --> 00:41:23,567
He denies all charges
of which he is accused.
