Fire in Crans-Montana: the Moretti couple questioned again, their lawyers claim they are not trying to 'evade'
The Moretti couple is being questioned again as part of the investigation into a tragic fire in their bar that resulted in many casualties.
Jacques and Jessica Moretti, the owners of Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, are undergoing their third round of questioning by authorities following a devastating fire that caused 41 fatalities and injured 115 others during New Year's Eve celebrations. Their lawyers have publicly stated that neither individual is attempting to evade responsibility and both are fully cooperating with investigators. The questioning is taking place over two days at the court in Sion, Switzerland.
This fire has drawn significant attention due to its severity and the substantial loss of life, making the investigation highly sensitive and critical. The Morettis, who have previously been interrogated twice, are facing intense scrutiny as the inquiry delves into the events leading up to the fire as well as any potential liabilities connected to their establishment. This latest round of questioning is crucial as voices of legal defense seek to reinforce the couple's commitment to transparency in the ongoing investigation.
As the story unfolds, the implications for the Morettis extend beyond legal consequences. The publicโs perception, especially from the victims' families and the community, plays a pivotal role in the legal discourse surrounding accountability and justice. Continued coverage and scrutiny by the media and public will likely contribute to how the legal proceedings develop, as well as the long-term ramifications for both the bar and its owners in Crans-Montana and beyond.
