Reimer said a powerful, anonymous, consortium eyeing 100,000 sq ft of land owned by the monastery had been trying to control its board so as to acquire the land. She felt her personal safety was under threat and urged the government to step in.
"The more I look into this, the more dark secrets are unveiled. I don't know what kind of power I'm dealing with," said the former actress, adding that she and her volunteer investigators had been constantly harassed. "The government has a responsibility."
Reimer said that although the monastery was registered as a charitable organisation and submitted its accounts as required by law, many items were suspicious.
