# 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.

## Reported figures

- 41 deaths
- 115 injured

## Coverage angles

The three sides cover the same file but focus on different aspects: the left mainly follows the hearings of the Moretti couple and the anger of the victims, the center highlights the refusal to compensate survivors and the bankruptcy of a restaurant belonging to the couple, and the right insists on the frustration of families facing unanswered questions from the owner.

**Common ground**

- The fire at bar Le Constellation in Crans-Montana killed 41 people and injured 115
- Jacques Moretti, owner of the bar, was questioned by justice in Sion
- Victims and families express anger and frustration

**Differences**

- The left details Jacques Moretti's statements (shifting responsibility to the former owner, narrowed staircase); the right mentions only the silence and lack of answers
- The center highlights the refusal to compensate seven survivors and the restaurant bankruptcy, little or not treated by the left and right
- The left specifically follows the separate questioning of Jessica Moretti and the cancellation of the confrontation, absent from the right-wing excerpts
