Deadly fire in Crans-Montana: judicial and social aftermath

The case of the deadly fire at Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, which left 41 dead and 115 injured, has seen several judicial and social developments since late October 2026. On October 28, Jacques Moretti, the bar's owner, was questioned without his wife as part of the investigation. On October 31, the Alix Foundation, created by the family of a young victim, held its launch evening to fund care for the injured, while a victims' lawyer called on November 1 for an investigation into the municipality's finances. On November 4, Jacques Moretti was questioned for the sixth time, sparking anger among victims as the investigation could last several years; on November 8, Swiss authorities refused to compensate seven survivors deemed not seriously injured enough. On November 9, the restaurant of the Constellation's owners was declared bankrupt, and on November 10, young footballer Tahirys Dos Santos, seriously burned in the fire, resumed his career at Thionville in Ligue 3.
