The Origins
The sect鈥檚 origins and mysticism are uncovered, profiles of the guru leaders and their financial misconduct emerge. Murder allegations arise, but the cult defends its secrets.
As the investigation widens, documents are discovered shedding light on the metaphysical and flamboyant rituals of the sect. Former members reveal the sect's unique world, and the journalists unravel its bewildering utopian vision and network of fraud and control. A
mysterious world of beliefs emerges; mystical ceremonies where the followers would spend time with the Masters of Sirius, higher beings that cult leaders claim guide their actions on earth. These occult theories were developed by the two gurus Jo Di Mambro and Dr Luc Jouret, men with very different personas and backgrounds, united in their creation of the cult. Over 15 years, they recruit more than 600 followers, who give money, labour and obedience. Behind the mystic and compelling illusions and veneer of loving community, the reporters discover a ruthless and illegal financial organisation. It seems that while some of the victims of Cheiry, Salvan and Morin-Heights committed suicide to transit to Sirius, others may have been murdered because they had become a threat to the Order as a whole.
