Constellation

Constellation was a bar located in Crans-Montana, a Swiss resort town. The bar is the focus of recent news due to a devastating fire that occurred on New Year's night, January 1, 2026. The fire resulted in 41 deaths and 115 injuries. Jacques Moretti, the co-owner of Constellation, was scheduled to be questioned by authorities regarding the incident, but his hearing was postponed indefinitely due to medical reasons. Adding to the tragedy and complexity of the situation, a 20-year-old man falsely presented himself as a firefighter involved in the response to the Constellation fire and infiltrated the circle of victims' families. This deception occurred for weeks following the incident. The incident highlights the ongoing investigation into the cause of the fire and the emotional impact on the victims and their families.
