About
Jacques Moretti is a French co-owner, along with his wife Jessica Moretti, of Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. He is currently newsworthy due to a deadly fire that occurred at his bar on New Year's Eve, resulting in 40 deaths and 116 injuries. Following the incident, Swiss prosecutors opened an investigation into possible negligence related to the fire. Jacques Moretti has been placed in pre-trial detention for at least three months, deemed a flight risk. He claims a service door was locked from the inside. The investigation is ongoing, with lawyers for the Morettis condemning what they perceive as public vindictiveness. The tragedy has led to a ban on pyrotechnics in indoor public venues in the Valais region and a national day of mourning in Switzerland.
