One of the managers, Jacques Moretti, of the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, faces manslaughter charges following a fire that killed 40 people on New Year’s Day. Moretti, a convicted criminal with a history of kidnapping and pimping, and his wife Jessica, are under investigation as the fire is believed to have been caused by candles igniting the ceiling. A heroic act by Paolo Campolo saved ten trapped individuals, while many more were injured. The couple’s bar had infrequent safety inspections, raising concerns about compliance with fire regulations.
