Jessica Moretti, the co-owner of Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, has made a bail payment of 200,000 Swiss francs, mirroring a similar action taken by her husband, Jacques Moretti, earlier this year. This bail payment is part of the legal measures of constraint regarding her liberty as the investigation into the devastating New Year's fire continues. The incident, which occurred on the night of December 31st, is one of the most tragic events in recent Swiss history, having resulted in 41 fatalities and over 115 injuries.

The Valaisan public prosecutor's office released a statement confirming that the amount of the bail has been definitively set by the Tribunal of Measures of Constraint. The sum has been deposited into the public prosecutor's account as part of the ongoing investigation. This legal decision highlights the seriousness of the case and the implications for those involved, particularly for the Moretti couple, who are presumed to be under significant scrutiny as investigators work to uncover the causes of such a destructive fire.

The fire at Le Constellation during a New Year's celebration has not only drawn attention due to the tragic human impact but also raises important questions about safety regulations and emergency preparedness in public venues in Switzerland. The wide-ranging consequences of this event may lead to greater regulatory oversight and demands for stricter adherence to safety protocols in places where large crowds gather, influencing future legislation and public safety measures.
