Crans-Montana: Investigation into the deadly fire at bar Le Constellation
The investigation into the deadly fire at bar Le Constellation in Crans-Montana, which killed 41 people and injured 115, continues. In late October 2026, Jacques Moretti was questioned without his wife, while the Alix Foundation, created by the family of a young victim, launched an evening to fund the care of the injured. In early November, a lawyer for the victims demanded an inquiry into the commune's finances, then Jacques Moretti was heard for the sixth time, sparking anger among victims. Swiss authorities subsequently refused to compensate seven survivors deemed not seriously enough injured, the restaurant owned by the bar's owners went bankrupt, and a young footballer severely burned resumed his career in Thionville. On December 2, Jessica Moretti was to be questioned alone, the confrontation with her husband having been cancelled.
