The Home Affairs Ministry has confirmed that the General Police Inspectorate has opened an administrative investigation to analyse how missing persons reports are managed by the police. Home Affairs Minister Léon Gloden made the announcement in response to a parliamentary question from the Pirate Party, following criticism by an anonymous police source in an RTL report.
The source had suggested that reports were being handled inadequately, with the police lacking the necessary resources to conduct proper investigations. Minister Gloden pushed back on part of that assessment, disputing in particular the claim that there is no centralised point of contact for missing persons cases. He confirmed that the monitoring of such reports has long been centralised within the criminal investigation department's crimes against persons unit.
At present, around 200 people are reported missing in Luxembourg.
