- During an eight‑hour interrogation, Jessica Moretti said no evacuation drills were ever held at Le Constellation and claimed two bouncers were on duty, while case records list only one.
- Attorneys filed a complaint naming Mayor Nicolas Féraud alongside the club owners, alleging negligent injury, endangering life through direct intent, negligent arson and breaches of municipal fire‑protection duties.
- Investigative materials state pyrotechnic candles ignited foam panels; photos show a narrow single staircase where 34 victims died in a crush and a closed service door near which six bodies were found.
- Crans‑Montana’s security chief told investigators the commune lacked staff for mandated checks, with only 119 of roughly 500 required inspections completed in 2025 and the club last inspected in 2019.
- A craftsman says he urged fire‑retardant materials in 2016 but the option was rejected for cost, with his early‑January email initially missing from the case file, as prosecutors schedule further witness hearings and Italian authorities pursue a parallel inquiry.
