Crans-Montana, Le Constellation: journalists, victims' families, ProtonMail users at risk, police raids

A news report appeared about the Geneva airport setting up a zone to welcome family members coming to search for missing and injured victims of the tragic fire at Le Constellation in Crans-Montana, Valais.
My first thought upon reading this report is that it could be a trap, or at the very least, part of a public relations exercise to divert these family members from contact with the journalists and lawyers waiting to greet them.
Incidentally, a lot of journalists are now using ProtonMail, which is based in Switzerland and subject to surveillance by Swiss police. Remember how Arjen Kamphuis disappeared.
My fears about the "welcome zone" for families are well founded: this is exactly what they did to victims of Parreaux, Thiebaud & Partners, the JuristGate scandal.
In April 2023, the Swiss financial regulator, FINMA, made a judgment shutting down the illegal legal insurance scheme. They did not publish the judgment, they did not inform the clients and they did not offer any compensation to the clients whatsoever. To minimize media attention on the ponzi scheme run by Swiss jurists, they issued the judgment simultaneously with the much bigger Credit Suisse crisis.
In September 2023, as the FINMA director was resigning for health reasons, FINMA published a heavily redacted document about an enforcement action that had taken place at some unspecified moment during his tenure. Despite the effort to redact the document, they had inadvertently included an acronym in the filename allowing us to prove the link to JuristGate.
Within days, Daniel Pocock published his first damning exposé on the cross-border scandal.
It looks like at least one of the former employees of the illegal legal insurance company was given help to find a new job so that she would stay quiet about the scandal.
FINMA has never offered any compensation to Mr Pocock and his family.
On 1 November 2023, Mr Pocock was granted Swiss citizenship in the Canton of Vaud.
Shortly after the publication, Mr Pocock began receiving increasingly nasty threats of violence. Mr Pocock recorded people coming to his home uninvited and making threats.
Here is one of the threats from a lawyerist:
Subject: Justcia SA Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2023 17:59:27 +0100 From: Joao Rodrigues Boleiro <joaoboleiro@hotmail.com> To: daniel@pocock.pro Monsieur, Je viens de voir que vous me citez dans votre blog sous le nom de João Boleiro et sans avoir obtenu mon autorisation. Je ne veux pas mêler aux affaires de M. Parreaux. Mon activité en qualité de juriste, titulaire du brevet d’avocat, s’est terminée avec la liquidation de la société Justicia SA. Dès lors, je vous serai gré de retirer immédiatement mon nom de votre blog, faute de quoi je dépose une plainte pénale à votre encontre. Cordialement, Joao RODRIGUES Chemin De-Maisonneuve, 5 1219 Châtelaine
Mr Pocock replied and received more threats, just days before Christmas:
Subject: Re: Justcia SA Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2023 17:10:12 +0000 From: joao rodrigues <joaoboleiro@hotmail.com> To: Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.pro> Le problème que vous citez concerne directement M. Parreaux et je vous invite à lui formuler vos doléances. Toutefois, en droit Suisse, vous ne pouvez pas citer une personne sans son autorisation, d'autant plus si cela lui porte atteinte à son honneur (art. 173ss CP). Partant, je maintiens ma demande et n'hésiterai pas à déposer une plainte pénale si vous ne retirez mon de votre blog. Cordialement, João Rodrigues
At 08:30 on 1 January 2026, Mr Pocock's blog was the first to find and publish links to old news reports about owners of Le Constellation doing the renovations by themselves.
Within two days, every media outlet is now running the story that these people have been charged with negligent homicide.
Mr Pocock warned the public that they have at least two other businesses, Le Senso in Crans-Montana and Le Vieux Chalet in Lens (VS) and they have done the construction work themselves in at least one of those businesses.
According to a report in Le Temps, the maximum sentence these people would face is four and a half years in prison. That is less than the sentence given to legendary human rights activist Gerhard Ulrich for creating the Swiss-Corruption.com web site.
The news reports today tell us that the Crans-Montana suspects, facing charges relating to forty deaths and over one hundred seriously injured victims, have been released on unconditional bail. They are even free to travel outside Switzerland. Yet when Gerhard Ulrich dared to publish information about the absurd behaviour of Swiss jurists, they sent the TIGRIS commando unit to molest him and lock him up.
This is grim news: if the foreign journalists, Swiss journalists, the victims or their family members make any "critical commentary" about the Swiss authorities, the building inspections or the suspects, even daring to publish the names of the suspects on social media, they could all be arrested on "criminal speech" charges.
This is no exaggeration: that is exactly what the jurist Rodrigues-Boleiro wrote above with his reference to Art. 173ss CP of the Swiss Criminal Code.
In 2011, Adrian von Bidder-Senn died on the same day Mr Pocock got married. The widow, Diana von Bidder-Senn, became mayor of Basel. There have been countless vendettas against Mr Pocock and his family over more than fifteen years. Mr Pocock has not committed any crime. His presence is a reminder of the possibility that a Swiss citizen, Adrian von Bidder, could be so unhappy that they would take their own life. So they want to snuff out Mr Pocock too so they can pretend everybody is happy. What does it mean to be Swiss?
The Debian suicide cluster, as a whole, is just as bad as the deaths in Le Constellation.
Some of the suicide victims had referred to the behaviour of the overlords. The overlords will do anything to avoid scrutiny of their behaviour. The Swiss jurists habitually gravitate towards the side who has the most money.
The von Bidders are both graduates of the elite ETH Zurich university. On the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, another ETH Zurich employee and Debianist, Axel Beckert, signed a demand asking Swiss authorities to violently attack Mr Pocock and destroy all of his computers and other evidence about the possibility that a Swiss graduate of the ETH Zurich had committed suicide on Mr Pocock's wedding day.
Well done ETH Zurich. Well done Switzerland.
Look again at the emails from Joao Rodrigues-Boleiro and compare them to the demands from ETH Zurich. They are not complaining about any real crimes. They are sooking hysterically about an unpaid volunteer who put his finger on the truth and dared to publish it.
Let's go back to the case of Joao Rodrigues Boleiro. His emails to Mr Pocock do not disclose his relation with the police. In fact, according to his LinkedIn profile, he has also worked as an in-house jurist for the police departments in both canton Valais and canton Geneva.
The founder of the illegal legal insurance scheme, Mathieu Parreaux had worked as a greffier in the tribunal of Monthey, Valais at the same time that he was selling illegal legal protection insurance. That was also around the same time that Joao Rodrigues Boleiro was working with the police and attorney general (procureur / Ministère public) in Sierre and Sion, canton Valais.
Therefore, by identifying the history of Joao Rodrigues Boleiro today, I want to ask the question: how long did Rodrigues-Boleiro's police colleagues know that he quit his police job to go and work for a scam?
After all, Mathieu Parreaux told us on his own LinkedIn post that the authorities knew his company was a scam since 2018, well before the time Joao Rodrigues Boleiro decided to quit his police job and join the insurance racket.
FINMA shut down the illegal legal insurance in April 2023 but even more than a year later, Joao Rodrigues Boleiro was still listed in the Canton Geneva police directory as one of their own jurists.
When he sent the email threats to unpaid volunteer Mr Pocock in December 2023, Joao Rodrigues Boleiro did not show Mr Pocock his police badge or reveal anything about his connections to the police department.
When UBS was being prosecuted in 2010, Mr Pocock went to Switzerland in good faith to help them improve their business processes. But some of the native Swiss people are the most deeply racist crackpots Mr Pocock has ever encountered. Some of these people are deeply jealous of professionals like Mr Pocock who were born in other countries and speak Swiss languages with an accent. They are too stubborn to listen and they use the police to hide their own sheer incompetence. Now forty of their own children are dead and over one hundred have been scarred for life by third degree burns.
On 15 January 2023, Mr Pocock dared to speculate what a model police officer looks like. A few weeks later, the police officer identified by Mr Pocock was awarded the National Emergency Medal for his efforts during the Australian bushfires. In other words, Victoria Police have had their best and brightest watching Mr Pocock for a long time. A rogue employee of ETH Zurich, which claims to be a leading research institution, tried to organize a lynching because Mr Pocock is a reliable judge of character.
That point needs to be emphasized: Mr Pocock called out his old friend as an exemplary police officer and the person in question won the National Emergency Medal. On 9 September 2023, Mr Pocock told the Cambridgeshire coroner about the risks of the Debian toxic culture and three days after that warning, the next victim died. Mr Pocock has an uncanny habit of being right about people. Snobby people have a fit when you hold a mirror up to them.
Look at how Joao Rodrigues Boleiro from the Canton Valais police and Axel Beckert from ETH Zurich tried to bully Mr Pocock into silence in the documents cited above.
Amnesty International published a report about the Swiss police using violence to "arrest" and sexually abuse Trevor Kitchen for his reports about financial corruption.
Trevor Kitchen, a 41-year-old British citizen resident in Switzerland, was arrested by police in Chiasso (canton of Ticino) on the morning of 25 December 1992 in connection with offences of defamation and insults against private individuals. In a letter addressed to the Head of the Federal Department of Justice and Police in Berne and to the Tribunal in Bellinzona (Ticino) on 3 June 1993 he alleged that two police officers arrested him in a bar in Chiasso and, after handcuffing him, accompanied him to their car in the street outside. They then bent him over the car and hit him around the head approximately seven times and carried out a body search during which his testicles were squeezed. He claimed he was then punched hard between the shoulder blades several times. He said he offered no resistance during the arrest.
He was then taken to a police station in Chiasso where he was questioned in Italian (a language he does not understand) and stated that during the questioning "The same policeman that arrested me came into the office to shout at me and hit me once again around the head. Another policeman forced me to remove all of my clothes. I was afraid that they would use physical force again; they continued to shout at me. The one policeman was pulling at my clothes and took my trouser belt off and removed my shoe laces. Now I stood in the middle of an office completely naked (for 10 minutes) with the door wide open and three policemen staring at me, one of the policemen put on a pair of rubber surgical gloves and instructed me to crouch into a position so that he could insert his fingers into my anus, I refused and they all became angry and started shouting and demonstrating to me the position which they wanted me to take, laughing, all were laughing, these police were having a good time. They pointed at my penis, making jokes, hurling abuse and insults at me, whilst I stood completely still and naked. Finally, when they finished laughing, one of the policemen threw my clothes onto the floor in front of me. I got dressed."
He was transferred to prison some hours later and in his letter claimed that during the night he started to experience severe pains in his chest, back and arms. He asked a prison guard if he could see a doctor but the request was refused and he claimed the guard kicked him. He was released on 30 December 1993. Medical reports indicated that since his release he had been experiencing recurrent pain in the area of his chest and right shoulder and had been receiving physiotherapy for an injury to the upper thoracic spine and his right shoulder girdle.
