In August and September 2024, odor nuisance in Vlodrop led to preliminary investigations focused on the area around Kerkbergweg.
So far, no evidence has been generated for a criminal offense regarding that nuisance. However, large quantities of prohibited pesticides were found during the investigation. It is not established that these substances are related to the odor nuisance, but possession of these substances is illegal.
The latter type of criminal offenses is being investigated and assessed by the Functional Prosecutors Office (FP) of the Public Prosecution Service. The Limburg District Prosecutors Office has transferred the case to the FP.
