True crime cases from Luxembourg
This source-led archive begins with the Bommeleeër affair, a campaign of bomb attacks against infrastructure, public buildings and private properties between 1984 and 1986. It documents the original trial, the later investigation into alleged false testimony and the critical distinction between those collateral proceedings and the still-unresolved question of who carried out the bombings.

One unresolved campaign with active procedural offshoots
The Luxembourg hub currently contains one substantive case file. The bombings are classified as unsolved because no one has been convicted of carrying them out and the original prosecution remains incomplete. A 2026 first-instance false-testimony conviction—and its ongoing appeal—concerns evidence given in the earlier trial; it is not a conviction for planting or directing any bomb.
Cases resolved by supported outcomes
A file appears here only when reliable sources establish a conviction, final adjudication or another clearly explained resolution.
Cases without a final answer
The archive separates charges, acquittals and collateral proceedings from proof of authorship.
How this archive treats the record
Charges are not verdicts
Named defendants retain the presumption of innocence unless and until a final judgment establishes guilt.
Proceedings stay separate
The false-testimony case is documented without recasting it as a judgment about who carried out the bombings.
Counts are explained
Sources group the incidents differently. The official 2013 trial dossier lists twenty referred events; the page avoids presenting competing totals as a contradiction in the core facts.
Theories remain theories
Claims involving security services, political motives or Cold War networks are not presented as established authorship.
Luxembourg archive answers
How many Luxembourg case files are published?
One fully sourced case file is published: the unresolved Bommeleeër bombing campaign of 1984–1986.
Why are the Bommeleeër bombings classified as unsolved?
No one has been convicted of carrying out the bomb attacks. The original trial remains suspended, and the current appeal concerns alleged false testimony rather than authorship of the bombings.
Did anyone die in the Bommeleeër attacks?
No deaths are recorded in the official case chronology or the established reporting reviewed for this archive. Several people were injured.
Is the Bommeleeër case still active?
Yes. An appeal in the separate false-testimony proceedings began in October 2026, while the main proceedings concerning the bombings remain unresolved.
