The managers are suspected of committing homicide, causing bodily harm and arson by negligence.
Swiss prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into the managers of a bar in Crans-Montana, where a New Year’s Eve fire resulted in 40 deaths and 119 injuries. The managers, a French man and woman, face charges including homicide by negligence, as the fire reportedly ignited from sparklers too close to the ceiling. Investigations are ongoing to determine safety compliance and crowd control during the event. Swiss officials described the incident as one of the country’s worst tragedies, with many victims being teenagers.
