This is the kind of thing that should land you in prison for a few decades if not for life. Our judicial system is a joke sometimes…

Somehow it’s cheaper to kill 3 people than to get a speeding ticket.. 😔

Kills 3 people while drunk and gets out? Should we start killing judges together with healthcare CEOs maybe? What a fucking joke.
Someone knows if its the son/relative of some millionaire? Would explain a lot.

A slap on the wrist for killing 3 people by being an irresponsible prick…and of course the press cannot give their guilty a$$ name because *confidentiality*, right?

If you want to kill somebody in Luxembourg, simply use your car, that is the message

I know the offender without knowing them. 🥒 for the judge. Regarding the families they should 100 appeal. Corrupt bastards!

Insane they can even come up with a monetary amount…
This is no justice.

The article mentions an online petition. Does anyone have the link?

Bizarre. You would expect at least a couple of years effective jailtime for this . I fully understand the outrage of the families.

So killing someone in Luxembourg is far easy and you also get to live your life… simply wow 😮.
Life just seems so cheap..
Imagine what the victims’ families undergo, because one asshole decided to get drunk and kill, and at the other end a brilliant justice system that spits straight into their face..

Oh boy, the irony is that drunk driving, despite being an additional felony alongside the committed crime, can actually work in your favor.

There is also the driving ban, which another article mentions the exception for work and family obligations, so the driver probably has children who could be in a difficult situation with a parent in jail not able to work. Let’s see if there is appeal, and if something will change
The fine is only the part to the state, and those amounts are usually small. On top of that, there must be compensation to families of the victims and court fees that in this case are probably in the order of hundreds of thousand, and the insurance might not cover that

at least pay 100.000 euros (absolute minimum) to each family … 2000 is a joke !!!!!

Suspended sentence?! What a joke!

The killer must be some politician or someone very rich for sure, usually people go to prison for that

Corruption + hyperlaxism from judges , this is the same problem everywhere in Europe

Personally, I’m curious if the penalty would vary for citizen vs resident vs frontalier.

There is no winner in such a situation, and there will never be one.

Same in UK. Killing people with a vehicle is free.

I think most people here make the mistake to judge the case by the outcome which was very tragic here, no question. But (I don’t have enough indo to judge this) the tribunal has to find out what the reason was.its not the number of victims that defines the right sentence.
I cannot judge this, but if there was such an soft conviction there might be reasons. I don’t think that our tribunal is so corrupt in such a case.
But it’s easy to condemn everything from your smartphone. Just saying. If anybody has more details maybe I am open for any background info.

Even repeat offenders wouldn’t face jail time: I remember a case 30 years ago when I had just arrived here. “Wort” reported on a drunk driver, repeat offender, having killed a kid on a crosswalk: same type of “punishment”. My disappointment got much bigger still when I wrote a letter to be published in that “news”paper, yet it didn’t. At least now there are more publicity options. But driving drunk is a national pastime still…
