Over the past five years, Luxembourg police have discovered drugs on 16 occasions during unannounced inspections conducted in schools.
A total of 20 such operations have taken place between 2020 and today, with the most recent occurring in early April at a secondary school in Diekirch.
At the request of the school’s headmaster, police carried out searches in three classes at the Lycée Classique de Diekirch.
In response to a parliamentary question posed by MP David Wagner of the Left Party (Déi Lénk), Minister of Education Claude Meisch confirmed that parents are not notified in advance of these police interventions.
The legal framework for such operations is based on two internal directives from 2012 – one issued by the police chief and the other by the prosecutor general.
