Krahenbuhl and his group of workers had been investigated in 2019 for reports of “sexual misconduct, nepotism, retaliation, discrimination and other abuses of authority.” Krahenbuhl resigned from his place, however in April 2024 was once named the top of the Global Committee of the Purple Move (ICRC).
