Italy considers legal action in Crans-Montana dispute
The Valais public prosecutor's office does not recognize Italy as a civil plaintiff. Rome plans to take the case to the Federal Court, and the Lombardy region is also considering its position.

The Valais public prosecutor's office has rejected Italy's request to participate in the proceedings regarding the fire disaster in Crans-Montana as a civil plaintiff. This decision has drawn criticism from various quarters, and Italy's lawyer has announced plans to potentially explore legal action up to the Federal Court.
Additionally, a lawyer from the Lombardy region has confirmed that this region is also interested in the case. The position taken by the Valais public prosecutor's office raises the possibility that the dispute between the involved parties could escalate further should Italy proceed with the announced step.
