Owner of Swiss bar in deadly blaze held for domestic abuse
French couple Jacques and Jessica Moretti have faced intense scrutiny since a fire at their ski resort bar killed 41 people, mostly teenagers.
The owner of the Swiss bar that suffered a fatal fire on New Year's Eve, Le Constellation, is currently detained on charges of domestic abuse against his wife and co-owner. Jacques Moretti and Jessica Moretti, a French couple, have been under intense scrutiny since the blaze claimed 41 lives, mostly teenagers, and injured 115 others. Along with 15 other individuals, they are being investigated for criminal negligence related to the fire.
In a separate incident, Jacques Moretti allegedly assaulted his wife on August 11 at their home in Switzerland's Wallis canton. The attack was so severe that Jessica had to be hospitalized. However, local media reports suggest that this incident is being handled as a private matter, distinct from the tragic fire at Le Constellation.
The Moretti's legal team clarified that while the events are interconnected, they are separate cases - one concerning the couple's private life and the other pertaining to the deadly fire tragedy.
