A suspected courier is said to have collected bank cards from victims at their front door and later used them to withdraw money. The man was arrested in France in April 2026. The Luxembourg public prosecutor’s office announced this on Wednesday morning. A European arrest warrant was previously issued against him.
The French national, born in 2003, who lives in France, is suspected of playing an important role in at least 32 cases of fraud in Luxembourg. These are so-called “Luxtrust scams” and phishing attacks with fake sites that imitated CNS, MyGuichet and Luxtrust, among others.
The suspect was handed over to the Luxembourg justice system on April 27, 2026, according to the public prosecutor’s office. A day later he was brought before an examining magistrate in Luxembourg, who ordered him to be remanded in custody.
The allegations could be classified, among other things, as fraud, qualified theft, computer fraud, money laundering and participation in a criminal organization. The exact scope of the crimes the man is accused of is still being determined. He is presumed innocent.
The public prosecutor’s office also points out the extent of such cases: in 2024 and 2025, more than 700 reports of Luxtrust fraud were registered. The total damage was more than ten million euros.
The public prosecutor’s office reminds in its letter that banks, financial service providers and Luxtrust never ask for security data, passwords or secret codes via call, message or suspicious link. They also do not collect bank cards or valuables from the front door. (We)
