# Deadly fire in Crans-Montana: judicial and social developments

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

## Reported figures

- 41 deaths
- 115 injured

## Coverage angles

The three sides cover the same judicial and social developments, but the left emphasizes the victims' anger and Jacques Moretti's responsibility, the centre focuses mainly on the concrete consequences (refused compensation, restaurant bankruptcy), and the right highlights the emotion and frustration of families facing the hearings.

**Common ground**

- The fire at the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana left 41 dead and 115 injured
- Jacques Moretti was questioned without his wife Jessica
- Victims and their relatives express anger or frustration over the hearings
- Seven survivors will not be compensated by the Swiss authorities

**Differences**

- The left explicitly cites Moretti's admission of having 'narrowed the staircase' and the inconsistencies noted by victims, an angle scarcely detailed on the right
- The centre highlights the bankruptcy of the Le Vieux Chalet restaurant, absent from the left- and right-leaning articles provided
- The left mentions the footballer Tahirys Dos Santos's return to play, a topic absent from the other sides
- The right stresses the setting of the hearing in Sion and the families' emotion, while the left focuses on the content of Moretti's answers
