The Moretti spouses point the finger at it Cyane Paninethe 24-year-old waitress who died in the bar fire The Constellations of Crans-Montana. In the videos she is the girl with the helmet who lifts the bottles with pyrotechnic candles, and according to the owners it was her initiative to climb onto the shoulders of a colleague during the service.
According to what was reported, Jessica Moretti he explained: «It wasn’t the first time he did it, but it wasn’t something that happened systematically. It was his choice.” A version that shifts all operational responsibility onto the young employee, despite the fact that in the past she had been described by the owners as “one of the family” or “a little sister”.
The parents deny: «Only professional relationships. She felt exploited.”
An image that the victim’s family firmly rejects. In a note signed by the lawyer Sophie Haennithe parents Jerome and Astrid they clarify: «There were exclusively working relationships between them. The messages prove it. Cyane felt exploited: she had consulted the unions and had turned to the Sion labor court to assert her rights.”
Jacques Moretti to the magistrates: «In those areas you don’t go on someone’s shoulders»
In front of the investigators, the owner Jacques Moretti he reiterated that that type of performance should never have happened: “Normally you don’t go to those points on someone’s shoulders, it’s too dangerous.” His wife Jessica also insists on the girl’s responsibility: “I recognize her in the video because I was behind her, also with bottles in my hand.” And he adds: «The team wanted to create an atmosphere, which is why the helmets. I have never imposed anything, nor prohibited it.”
The story of Camille, her friend: «It was Jessica who told her to wear a helmet»
A picture in open contrast with the testimony published by Courier and signed by Camillefriend of Cyane and former employee of the same club. The young woman recounts a frenetic scene: «The mistress arrived in a panic. There was no staff, there were 16 bottles of champagne to serve and he asked me for help too. I worked there five years ago, I know it well.”
Camille contests the idea of a show “self-managed” by the staff: «Cyane wore a motorbike helmet because she was part of the show. Jessica was the one who told her to put it on. He asked me to wear a white mask.”
Security doors closed and rescue attempts
The former waitress also provides an explanation for the controversial closure of the emergency exits: «The boss had blocked them. They said he did it to prevent customers from coming in and out, given that the evening was paid.”
He then tells what he saw during the desperate attempts to save Cyane: «There were many people around her. A doctor performed cardiac massage on her for almost an hour, without stopping.” A version that does not directly quote Moretti, but contrasts with what the owner declared, according to which he would have tried to help her personally.
At the end of the deposition, when asked if she intended to press charges, Camille replies without hesitation: «Yes. I want justice. Cyane was my friend forever: I’m devastated.”
