Interrogation today, 11 February, in Switzerland for Jacques Moretti, owner of the bar in the New Year's Eve massacre. Tomorrow it will be his wife's turn. The Contellation discobar was not among the premises with an "open non-compliance" and not even being an accommodation facility was not considered among the priorities for security checks by the Crans-Montana municipality. This was reported by Christophe Balet, security manager of the Crans-Montana Municipality, according to the minutes of his interrogation last Friday. As far as the years 2024 and 2025 are concerned, 'we have resumed these periodic checks,' he told the investigators, 'and set priorities, and this building was not a priority.

Meanwhile, those injured in the Crans-Montana fire who were hospitalised in Milan are all 'out of imminent danger of death', while those in the Niguarda intensive care unit have been transferred to the large burns ward.

The 55-year-old Italian-Swiss woman was also discharged from the Milan hospital. This was announced by the Lombardy Region's Welfare Councillor, Guido Bertolaso, speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the regional council meeting on Tuesday, 10 February.

The Italian-Swiss lady who was discharged on Monday, Bertolaso added, has returned home to Geneva but 'she said that all the medication will be done here in Milan. A sign of gratitude and respect for the services we have guaranteed her'. And even the 29-year-old Rimini veterinarian, already back in Emilia-Romagna, 'wants to come here for periodic checks. Let's say,' Bertolaso stressed, 'that a third of the patients we admitted in the first days of January have been discharged.

The guys at Niguarda have all left the intensive care unit and the young man admitted to the Policlinico di Milano 'is also coming out' of the intensive care unit and 'will return to the Niguarda's major management centre this week, also because he is improving significantly'.

Crans-Montana, fuori pericolo tutti i feriti ricoverati a Milano

Niguarda patients comforted by Mattarella's visit

The boys injured in the fire at Crans-Montana and hospitalised at Niguarda in Milan 'were very moved by the passage of the Olympic torch, which was a sign of great attention to them. This also served to spur them on and to try to put their own spin on this dramatic situation'. Bertolaso explained, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Lombardy Regional Council meeting. 'It is the same concept,' Bertolaso added, 'that the President of the Republic conveyed when he visited. He only had to greet the parents, then while he was there he asked if he could come in and meet them. I told him that it would be a very strong incentive for the children to believe in coming out of this tragic situation. We are very grateful to him for his great willingness, because it was very helpful for the young people to see the highest representative of our institutions close to them, to comfort them and urge them to get well as soon as possible'.

Pm of Rome orders evidence seizure of victims' phones

Meanwhile, a few days ago, the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office ordered the evidentiary seizure of the phones of all the Italian young people who lost their lives or were injured in the tragedy last New Year's Eve at Crans Montana. Prosecutor Stefano Opilio, who is in charge of the file for culpable disaster, multiple culpable homicide, and aggravated injuries, is collecting the mobile phones with a view to a forensic investigation that will begin shortly: it is believed that the images and other chats from the night between 31 December and 1 January may yield relevant elements in the reconstruction of the fire at Le Constellation.
