Paulette Cooper claims the Church of Scientology and its leaders authorized a campaign to ruin her reputation, including break-ins at a doctor's office, infiltrating state and city offices, a plan to plant a gun in a Globe reporter’s car, and wiretaps. The suit seeks 25 million dollars for invasion of privacy, emotional distress, and racketeering. Church officials call the suit publicity seeking and legally weak.
