  "account": "Swiss bar owners Jacques and Jessica Moretti are currently in pre-trial detention following accusations of domestic abuse against Jessica. The couple, who co-own Le Constellation bar, has been under intense scrutiny since a deadly fire at the establishment on New Year's Eve claimed 41 lives and injured 115 others. Among 16 people under criminal investigation, Jacques Moretti has now been arrested and detained after an alleged violent incident with his wife on August 11. The altercation was so severe that Jessica Moretti required hospitalization. Both the prosecutor's office and the lawyers for the Morettis have not yet commented on the domestic abuse allegations. However, their lawyers released a statement clarifying that the incident is being investigated separately from the tragic fire, emphasizing it falls under a private matter unrelated to the deadly blaze.",
