Italy's Ambassador Returns to Switzerland

0:00On April 5, Italy's ambassador to Switzerland is heading back to his post after months away following a diplomatic spat over a tragic bar fire. The fire broke out on New Year's Day in the ski resort of Cran's Montana, killing 41 people, including six Italians in one of Switzerland's worst disasters in recent history. Back in January, Italy pulled the ambassador, Jean Lorenzo Cornado, in protest when Swiss authorities let the bar owner out on bail, sparking outrage. Over the handling of the case, now the Swiss Foreign Ministry says Cornado should arrive in Byrne on Monday, signaling a thaw and tensions between the two nations. This move wraps up a tense chapter, as both sides push forward amid ongoing investigations into that deadly blaze.
