Swiss Bar Owner Instructed Waitress Before Fire Killed 40

Owners of Le Constellation bar, Jacques and Jessica Moretti, are facing charges related to a New Year’s Eve fire that killed 40 people in Crans-Montana. They described the tragic death of waitress Cyane Panine, who suffocated behind a locked door. The fire reportedly ignited from sparklers used for celebration, and while Mr. Moretti attempted to save victims, Mrs. Moretti allegedly fled with the night’s cash. Both await trial for manslaughter and negligence.
