BBC News - South Korea professor charged over 'holy water' fraud
BBC News - South Korea professor charged over 'holy water' fraud: "Prof Kim, claimed he could digitally capture the elements of holy water from Lourdes, France, that believers say has healing powers.
He had sold devices to more than 5,000 people, making almost 1.7bn won ($1.3m, £870,000).
Eight people, including Prof Kim's wife and brother-in-law, will also be charged.
The famous shrine to the Virgin Mary at Lourdes offers water which some believe has healing powers.
Mr Kim had claimed his ceramic and paper filters, and plastic cards used in water purifiers, had captured those powers for onward transmission.
He and his associates allegedly told customers that different devices cured different illnesses, including diabetes and tumours."
