Crans Montana's horn, Switzerland's latest institutional affront to Italy: Excluded from the trial as a civil party.

The Italian government has been excluded from participating as a civil party in the Swiss investigation into the fire at Crans Montana, which killed six Italians and injured fourteen others. The decision by the prosecutors in Sion was based on the argument that Italy’s status as a victim cannot be recognized because the damage did not directly affect the state’s personal rights but rather public interests. This exclusion comes amid existing tensions between Italian and Swiss authorities over the handling of the investigation and the lack of arrests for the owners of the venue involved. The Italian Foreign Ministry stated they had already filed an appeal against this decision.
