Investigative journalists Gianni del Vecchio and Stefano Pitrelli have just published a book entitled Occulto Italia (2011, BUR FUTUROPASSATO, 512 pages) about lobbying efforts by various cults in Italy. A synopsis posted on europaquotidiano.it recalls that, in 2005, then education minister Letizia Moratti recognized a company tied to Applied Scholastics as one of the organizations accredited to train public school teachers and that this accreditation was revoked in 2008 by education minister Giuseppe Fioroni. This incident and others were also mentioned in an article cowritten by the authors and Tommaso Cerno in Sept. 2009 (Spider Web Of Scientology; WWP link).
