Luxembourg authorities have discontinued a criminal investigation into potential EU sanctions violations by Spacety Luxembourg SA, a Chinese satellite firm that was subsequently placed into liquidation. The case was closed after mutual legal assistance requests were made, though details about the responses and recipient countries remain unclear.

Further to our earlier post regarding a Luxembourg investigation into possible EU sanctions breaches by the company Spacety Luxembourg SA, it is now being reported that the Luxembourg authorities have discontinued the investigation.

A government spokesperson is reported to have stated that the investigation was discontinued after several mutual legal assistance requests had been made, but it is unclear whether these requests were refused, and to which countries the requests were sent.

The company was placed into liquidation in October 2025.
