A Previous Fire at a Moretti Premises Comes to Light
The news program TG1 has released graphic material of a fire that completely destroyed the interior of Le vieux chalet, a premises in Lens owned by the Moretti couple, which they later converted into a restaurant. 🔥 This event occurred in March 2024, during remodeling works. According to the report, after this incident, the conditions of the other two businesses managed by the couple were not verified.
The Judicial Investigation Could Expand
A lawyer representing one of the affected parties will file a formal complaint with multiple charges against the Morettis and the Crans-Montana municipality. 📜 This document seeks to examine the possible responsibility of both the owners and the local administration in the events leading up to the disaster. The new information about the 2024 fire adds another component to the case.
Key Points of the Complaint:- The owners and the municipality are formally accused.
- It requests investigation into responsibilities prior to the tragedy.
- The Lens fire is incorporated as relevant evidence.
It seems that some only perceive the safety lesson after the fire has consumed everything, not before.
The Fire Did Not Trigger Safety Inspections
The flames that devastated the premises in Lens did not prompt the authorities to check the condition of the other two establishments managed by the couple in the area. This detail is now the focus of part of the investigators' attention, who are analyzing the sequence of events and a possible lack of diligence. The New Year's Eve catastrophe of 2026, which left dozens dead, has exposed serious failures that are now being traced back in time.
Aspects Being Analyzed by Investigators:- Why the other premises were not inspected after the 2024 fire.
- The chain of events and omissions that may have led to the tragedy.
- Possible negligence in complying with safety regulations.
Consequences and Scope of the New Information
The investigation into the 2026 New Year's Eve tragedy, which caused numerous deaths, now has a path to expand due to this newly revealed data. 🕵️♂️ The fact that a previous fire did not activate control protocols in similar properties owned by the same owners becomes a central element for assessing responsibilities and preventing such events from repeating.
