In 2018, Luxembourg authorities made initial arrests in a case of suspected prostitution, human trafficking, and money-laundering. Six people based in Trier, including three women in leading positions and three drivers, were put on trial and given suspended prison sentences for allegedly providing house calls to cross-border clients.
However, the defendants appealed the verdict, arguing that they were unaware that house calls were illegal in the Grand Duchy. The trial will therefore enter a new phase on Tuesday afternoon.
