Statute overview

About this statute

This preamble identifies the law on genetic fingerprint identification in criminal matters and its related amendments. This article says the law governs the use of genetic fingerprints to identify a person in preliminary investigations and preparatory criminal proceedings, and that processing those data must follow specified data-protection rules. A DNA profile and related personal data must be handled under this law. DNA profiles must be established after PCR amplification of human-cell DNA and on the basis of at least seven DNA markers. Mitochondrial DNA may also be used as a comparative test, and a grand-ducal regulation determines the markers used, in addition to X and Y chromosome markers. An appointed DNA expert must first do preliminary cell description/testing, compare DNA profiles, and send a reasoned report to the prosecutor or investigating judge.
