Overview
- A surviving server, Louise Leguistin, told investigators that Jessica Moretti was filming the champagne procession and fled upstairs as flames erupted, while staff had received no fire-safety training and an emergency exit was poorly marked.
- Victims' attorneys say images from patrons show Jessica recording the start of the fire despite her denial of having videos, and they criticize the deletion of the club’s online accounts within hours of the disaster.
- Phones belonging to Jacques and Jessica Moretti were seized on January 9 and their computers on January 14, a lag lawyers argue risks evidence loss, with prosecutors now facing complaints over late or missing autopsies in several cases.
- Lawyers for some families ask prosecutors to add the offense of supplying alcohol to under‑16s, arguing intoxication may have slowed teenagers’ escape, and they urge searches and device seizures at municipal offices that approved the venue.
- Prosecutors seek 200,000 Swiss francs in bail per owner as Jacques remains detained in Sion and Jessica is under reporting obligations, citing flight risk and heavily mortgaged assets, while records and testimony highlight flammable acoustic foam, makeshift ceiling fixes, and an apparent lack of an automatic sprinkler system.
