Organized Crime in Luxembourg
The organized crime indicator assesses how strongly Luxembourg is exposed to criminal markets, criminal actors and weak counter-capacity. The raw value is 25 risk points. This results in a Nomadino score of 75/100 and rank 10 of 229.
What the Raw Value Measures
The raw value is a risk index from 0 to 100. It does not assess simple everyday offences alone, but organised structures: drug trafficking, human trafficking, smuggling, extortion, arms trafficking, cybercrime, financial crime, criminal networks, mafia-style groups, state-embedded actors and comparable influence structures.
For Luxembourg, Nomadino uses the country values from the Global Organized Crime Index 2025. The key components are criminal markets, criminal actors and resilience to organised crime.
Nomadino weights criminal markets at 40%, criminal actors at 25%, low resilience at 20%, governance weakness at 10% and safety plausibility checks at 5%. The score is derived directly: score = 100 minus raw value.
Context for Daily Life and Stays
Exposure to organised crime is low in international comparison. Relevant risks can still exist in specific industries, border regions, financial structures or transit environments.
For travellers, this indicator is usually less immediately visible than petty crime or homicide. For relocation, business formation, investment and property purchases it matters more, because organised crime can become relevant indirectly through corruption, extortion, opaque business partners, smuggling routes or weak law enforcement.
