Dealing with the disaster Firefighters push the Welsh police to their limits

Seven months after the tragic fire at the Bar Le Constellation in Crans-Montana, which killed 41 people and injured 115, the police force in the canton of Valais is still dealing with significant work overload. Police commander Frédéric Gisler stated that the investigation process has heavily strained personnel resources, leading to reduced presence on the streets and increased incidents such as drug trafficking and violence, particularly in train stations during spring. The Valais prosecutor’s office rejected Italy’s request to participate as a civil plaintiff in the criminal proceedings related to the disaster, despite Italy’s claim of financial loss. While the Italian authorities appealed this decision, the Swiss side maintained their stance, emphasizing the need to focus on the ongoing investigation. Gisler also noted a rise in traffic accidents, though they were not severe.
