Crans-Montana: investigation into deadly fire and hearings of Jacques Moretti
On October 28, 2026, Jacques Moretti was to be heard in the investigation into the deadly fire in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, without his wife. On October 31, the Alix Foundation, created by the family of a young victim, held its launch evening to fund care for the injured. On November 1, a victims' lawyer called for an investigation into the commune's finances. On November 4, Jacques Moretti was heard again, for the sixth time, ten months after the fire at the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana (41 dead, 115 injured), sparking anger among victims as the investigation could last several years.
