ELI5: The Church of Scientology has repeatedly been accused of keeping people in hard labor camps, kidnapping people, and other horrible acts. Why has there never been a formal investigation or intervention by law enforcement?

Although not too informative, the easiest answer is simply that the Church of Scientology has a lot of money, and therefore a lot of power to scare other people into doing what they want. It's common for people who speak out about Scientology to disappear with no explanation, which makes journalists think twice about doing a story on it.

There have been several investigations by the FBI, but the secretive and inclusive nature of the cult makes it very difficult to get the information they need to prove they're doing something really bad or illegal. Many of the things we consider really bad (kidnapping, imprisonment, slave labor) can be considered legal because these are common practices in other religions. Scientology often seeks protection for it's actions by saying that it's not much different from other cult/religions.
