The public prosecutor's office in Sion has released footage which, according to the Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera", clearly documents for the first time how the fire at the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana VS was started. The video shows 24-year-old service employee Cyane Panine with two bottles of champagne and flaming party fountains on the shoulders of a colleague. Sparks set fire to highly flammable foam soundproofing mats. The flames spread within seconds and lead to a catastrophe on New Year's Eve with 41 deaths and 115 injuries.
While the Moretti couple initially claimed that the waiters had come up with the idea for the show, a witness explained that operator Jessica Moretti had personally ordered the action.
The parents of the deceased waitress Cyane Panine also contradict the description of a close relationship and speak of purely professional relationships and stressful working conditions. According to the family, the seasonal worker received no fire safety training, felt overwhelmed and complained of a lack of empathy. The investigation into the exact responsibilities is ongoing.
