Jessica Moretti

Jessica Moretti, along with her husband Jacques Moretti, owns Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. They are currently under criminal investigation for involuntary manslaughter, bodily harm, and arson through negligence following a deadly fire at their bar on New Year's Eve that resulted in 41 deaths and 115 injuries. The fire has prompted widespread grief and scrutiny, with families of the victims confronting the Morettis in court. While Jacques Moretti has been ordered to pretrial detention as a flight risk, both he and Jessica are facing intense public criticism and legal challenges. Their lawyers have condemned what they perceive as "public vindictiveness" and denied any awareness of dangers at the venue. The incident has led to a ban on pyrotechnics in indoor public venues in the Valais canton and a criminal investigation into local council officials.
