Heiress Victoria said:Sorry.. what affairs? what's the bomber scandal?
We discussed it at the end of last year in "News and Pictures of the GD family" Part 4 if I'm not mistaken.
Today the story is the big headline of the newspaper Luxemburger Wort and below I translate there internet article:
Prince Jean wasn't the bomber
The public attorney's office Luxembourg sees proved the innocence of Prince Jean in the affair "Bommeleeër" (bomber in English). The brother of the present Grand Duke Henri had subjected himself voluntarily a DNA-test, the authority announced on Wednesday. This test had no agreement with the traces found at the crime scene.
Among the deeds of the presumed bombers fall a dozen of explosive material attacks in the years 1984 to 1986 on Luxembourg's territory . Persons haven't been injured at the same time. A witness found by RTL Lëtzebuerg had burdened Prince Jean. He had stated in a conversation with prime minister Jean-Claude Juncker, that he had seen the car of the prince at the day of the attack on the airport Findel directly at the crime scene.
However Prince Jean was able to refute the suspicion. On the investigations of the district attorney's office, he indicated that he had been on the relevant time guest in a hunt in the French Département Loir et Cher - about 500 kilometers away from the crime scene . According to district attorney's office, letters and photos belay the presence of the noblemen at the organization. At the anonymous RTL-witness, contradictions had appeared moreover in the details about times and weather conditions - which isn't amazing after 20 years. The search for the bombers goes therefore further. The district attorney's office had confirmed lately that the limitation time period isn't yet expired for the deeds.

PS: These rumors appeared in pubs soon after the several attacks from the years 1985-1986. These people thought that the involvement of a member of the Grand Ducal family was the only explanation that the saddest affair in the history of Luxembourg hasn't been cleared up yet.
The real criminals haven't been found after 20 years and 18 attacks between 1985 and 1986. The sloppiness is an embarrassment for the whole Grand Duchy!
