Witness accounts from the Crans-Montana fire incident reveal that Jean-Marc Gabrielli, the adopted son of Jacques Moretti, may have played a pivotal role on the night of December 31. Testimonies suggest he was present at the Constellation venue and allegedly gave the order to secure the service door, raising concerns about his actions in relation to the tragedy that unfolded. Legal representatives for civil parties have started calling for his preventive detention, which is akin to formal charges in other legal systems.

Jacques Moretti previously described Gabrielli as "my eyes, my ears", indicating the deep trust he placed in him. Gabrielli has been a constant presence in Moretti’s life, following him from Corsica to Switzerland, and his involvement in the events of that night is under scrutiny. The precise nature of his role during the fire, however, is still being investigated, as legal proceedings unfold and additional testimonies come to light.

The investigation into the fire has implications beyond the immediate legal consequences for Gabrielli. It touches on the broader concerns about fire safety and emergency protocols in public venues, especially those with complex relationships like that of Moretti and Gabrielli. As details emerge, the public and authorities alike are anxious to understand how this tragedy occurred and what systemic changes may be needed to prevent similar incidents in the future.
