The Diploma

The Ministry of Education told RTL that an employee of the Diploma Recognition Service was dismissed in 2024 due to professional ineptitude. This is thought to be in connection with the current immigration case. The ministry said it could not confirm whether she is among the approximately 30 accused in the ongoing investigation.[1]

The Ministry of Immigration told RTL it would not have data on the number of its employees who were dismissed, reinstated or suspended, or how many had been indicted, until next week. The department's director has been subjected to questioning as part of the investigation.[1]

Since the prosecutor's office made public its investigation into a major case of fraudulent immigration and corruption last week, new information has been released practically every day.[1]

30 accused

Approximately 30 accused. The number has appeared in reports for days. It appeared again. The Ministry of Education cannot confirm whether the dismissed employee is among them. The Ministry of Immigration does not have the data. The prosecutor's office made the investigation public. The ministries do not have the information. The information is with the prosecutor. The ministries are waiting. The prosecutor is investigating. The employee was dismissed in 2024. The investigation became public last week. The dismissal happened before the investigation became public. The dismissal happened during the investigation. The ministry said it was professional ineptitude. The prosecutor said it is corruption and illegal immigration. These are different words for the same person.[1]

The diploma

The employee worked in the Diploma Recognition Service. The service that decides whether a foreign qualification is valid in Luxembourg. The service that decides whether a person can work, study, or practise a profession. The service that decides whether a person's previous life counts. If the service is corrupt, the diploma is not the diploma. The diploma is whatever someone paid for it to be. The recognition is not recognition. The recognition is a transaction. The person who received the diploma did not earn it. The person who did not receive the diploma did. The system is not the system. The system is a door that opens for some and closes for others, and the question is who held the key, and who paid for the key, and who looked the other way while the key was being sold.[1]

The director was questioned as a suspect. The employee was dismissed for ineptitude. The ministry cannot confirm she is among the accused. The ministry does not have the data. The prosecutor has the data. The data is approximately 30 people. The information is released practically every day. The information is not released by the ministries.
