A judicial inquiry concerning immigration fraud has been underway in Luxembourg since 2023. Authorities have conducted twenty-seven search operations during this investigation.

On Tuesday, the public prosecutor's office decided to make public the progress of this case, which has notably led to searches within the Immigration directorate. Further searches were also carried out at various other locations connected to this proceedings.

These revelations come from an article in Le Quotidien, which reported on this case as part of its weekly recap of Luxembourg news.

To date, the public prosecutor's office has not provided details on the individuals targeted, the number of suspects or the exact offences being prosecuted. It has not been specified either whether any custody interviews or prosecutions have already taken place.

This proceedings raises questions about the security of administrative processes related to the granting of residence permits in the Grand Duchy.
