The announcement was made on the Chamber’s website that the Conference of Presidents and the Bureau of the Chamber had received the lawyer and university professor Patrick Kinsch, author of a report on this subject.
There are certain differences between the current Constitution and the new one, which is currently being drafted and in which the section on the organisation of the State has already been validated by a first vote in a plenary session of Parliament.
The aim is to draft a bill in which the procedure is clarified and defined so that the prosecutor’s office can continue its investigation against the former ministers - not only in the context of the Carole Dieschbourg case, but they want a legal text that is generally applicable.
MPs had adopted the idea of creating a law when the question of responsibility in this case could not be entirely clarified, even after the hearing of constitutional expert Luc Heuschling from the University of Luxembourg in May.
This new law would thus enable the Public Prosecutor’s Office to be the neutral authority for the investigation. The rule of law will be guaranteed, and the Chamber will then be presented with a proposal from the Prosecutor’s Office in order to decide on a possible indictment.
