Crans-Montana: investigation into the deadly fire at Le Constellation bar
The investigation into the deadly fire at Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, which left 41 dead and 115 injured, continues. At the end of October 2026, Jacques Moretti is heard without his wife, while the Alix Foundation, created by the family of a young victim, launches an evening to fund care for the injured. In early November, a victims' lawyer calls for an investigation into the municipality's finances, then Jacques Moretti is heard for the sixth time, sparking anger among the victims. The Swiss authorities then refuse to compensate seven survivors deemed not seriously injured enough, the restaurant of the bar owners is declared bankrupt, and a seriously burned young footballer resumes his career in Thionville. On December 2, Jessica Moretti is to be heard alone, the confrontation with her husband having been canceled.
