The accused allegedly orchestrated the forgery to facilitate the illegal entry of two young women into Luxembourg.
The trial sheds light on the manipulation of birth certificates, which were then used to obtain false passports and visas. The accused may have further extended the deception by altering the date of birth of his own child on official documents.
The nature of the relationship between the accused and the two young women, who were identified with the false names Angelina and Angela, remains unclear. Similarly, the reasons for falsifying their ages have not been fully disclosed, but it is speculated that this tactic aimed to ease their entry into Luxembourg by portraying them as minors.
Details surrounding the purpose of their journey to Luxembourg are also shrouded in mystery, with neither the accused nor the victims providing clear explanations. The women vaguely expressed seeking a “better future.” One of the women, now 19 years old, believes the accused manipulated their documents to exploit family allowances. The defendant is accused of neglecting his two biological children after his wife’s death, a responsibility allegedly shifted to the two young women, despite the accused’s mother being present in Luxembourg for that specific purpose.
The defendant received family allowances for Angelina and Angela from 2015 to 2019. The Children’s Future Fund, acting as a civil party, is now seeking the recovery of €40,000 in allowances.
The trial, expected to span four days, will also address rape allegations against the defendant starting Thursday. He stands accused of raping one of the young women involved in the case.
