Jessica Moretti

Jessica Moretti is the co-owner, along with her husband Jacques Moretti, of Le Constellation, a bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. She and her husband are currently under investigation for possible negligence related to a devastating fire at their bar on New Year's Eve that resulted in 40 deaths and 116 injuries. The fire has prompted a criminal investigation into local officials and a ban on pyrotechnics in indoor public venues in the Valais region. While Jacques Moretti has been placed in pre-trial detention due to flight risk concerns, Jessica Moretti is also under scrutiny. Lawyers for the Morettis have criticized what they perceive as public vindictiveness towards their clients, who claim to be cooperating with the investigation and were unaware of any dangers at their venue. The incident has caused widespread grief and anger, leading to a national day of mourning in Switzerland.
