The Palace released the following statement:
“It is with great sadness that H.S.H. Prince Albert II has learned of the sudden death of Mr. Albert Croesi, which occurred in his sixty-second year. Commitment, energy, sense of duty and general interest, his unfailing devotion to the Principality of Monaco and the Princely Family, these were the qualities that animated Albert Croesi’s work throughout his life. The Sovereign Prince and His Family unite to send their most sincere condolences to Paul his son, as well as to Pierine his mother and all of his family and loved ones.”
