The Crans-Montana case continues to attract significant attention, focusing primarily on the handling of the investigation by the Valais prosecutor's office. There is a growing perception that there have been numerous errors from the outset, suggesting that the prosecutor, Beatrice Pilloud, was not adequately prepared for the scale of the tragedy, which includes 41 victims and over 150 injured. This situation has escalated to a point where many believe it should be treated as a massacre, rather than merely as manslaughter, which is currently the legal approach being taken in Switzerland.

The frustration among the victims' families is palpable, particularly as the two main suspects, Jessica and Jacques Moretti, remain free on bail. This has intensified calls for greater accountability and transparency from the authorities. Tommaso Cerno, the director of Il Giornale, has voiced his concerns, stating that the journalism plays a critical role in ensuring the obligation of truth is upheld in this context. He fears that the handling of the case could have been overshadowed by a broader conflict in Crans-Montana, which he suggested based on his reporting and investigations.

As the investigation proceeds amidst public outcry, the ongoing debate also questions the adequacy of the Swiss legal system in dealing with such tragedies. With a significant number of victims and ongoing tensions, the case serves as a pivotal moment for understanding the intersection of legal proceedings and media influence in Switzerland, showcasing the potential for journalism to push for necessary changes and accountability within the system.
