The Board of Directors of the Rhône Media Group, publisher of the Valais daily newspaper Le Nouvelliste, dismissed CEO Jean-Yves Bonvin with immediate effect on Tuesday. He will be replaced by Antonin Gross, Delegate of the Board of Directors. Rhône Media announced on Tuesday that trust in the previous management had been damaged. One reason for the decision was the way in which the previous CEO had managed the pension fund dossier, explained Chairman of the Board of Directors Hildebrand de Riedmatten at the request of SDA. The Board of Directors commissioned a lawyer to clarify the management of the pension fund dossier. In addition, on Monday it sent various members of the Executive Board requests for payment amounting to CHF 1.8 million. Thanks to this measure, the limitation period was interrupted.
