Swiss prosecutors investigate Crans-Montana mayor in ski bar fire that killed 41

Swiss prosecutors have expanded the investigation into the fire at a ski resort bar that killed 41 people, most of them teenagers. The mayor of the tourist city of Crans-Montana, Nicolas Feraud, has been added to the list of suspects according to a prosecutors' document obtained by Reuters. Feraud appears as a defendant in the document, which summons him to testify on April 13. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Feraud, in his 50s, had previously admitted that the municipality failed to conduct several annual safety inspections. The public prosecutor's office in the canton of Valais confirmed to Reuters that new people are now being investigated in the case.
