As family minister, Corinne Cahen (DP) is responsible for taking the decision on whether Orpea will be able to operate in the grand duchy, she has sent a letter to the French company asking for additional information in the context of its application to open a care home in Merl in the capital city.
The letter was also sent to members of the family and integration committee of the chamber of deputies alongside a report from the French general inspectorate of finance and the general inspectirate of sical affairs.
In January 2022 Orpea became the subject of in its care homes in France. A book by journalist Victor Castanet published on 26 January is the source of the accusations. In May the assisted living company landed in hot water once more after cross-border journalism cooperative Investigate Europe published a report alleging that Orpea had used a Luxembourg holding company Lipany to embezzle money.
