Crans-Montana, validated the arrest of Jacques Moretti. Bove transferred to Niguarda

The condition of Elsa Rubino, the 15-year-old girl from Biella injured in the New Year's Eve fire in Crans Montana, remains stable. At the Zurich hospital she underwent two operations, one last Tuesday and one on Friday to reconstruct her intestine and to remove the necrotic parts caused by the burns. But the girl will have to return to the operating theatre. All burnt surfaces will have to be treated to avoid the risk of infection. Meanwhile, many testimonies of affection and closeness continue to surround the family.

"For the owners of Le Constellation Jacques Moretti and Jessica Maric we will ask for the recognition of possible intent". Confirming this to Adnkronos is Alessandro Vaccaro, lawyer for the family of Emanuele Galeppini, the 16-year-old from Genoa who died in the New Year's Eve massacre at Crans-Montana. 'It is enough to refer to the Thyssenkrupp affair,' explains Vaccaro. 'If unlawful behaviour can result from my conduct, I accept the risk of what can happen. In the Thyssen case, the owners were at fault, also in the Crans-Montana case the owners were aware of the risk'. At the moment, Mr and Mrs Moretti are being charged with manslaughter, 'which in Switzerland is punished with ridiculous penalties, up to three years,' explains Vaccaro, according to whom 'we are dealing with the classic case of possible intent,' which includes higher penalties.

The pool of lawyers wants to ask that the chain of responsibility be widened to include not only the club's managers, but also the municipal administration of Crans-Montana for the alleged failure to control the club over the years. In the meantime, an autopsy on Galeppini's body has been scheduled in Genoa. The examination will be carried out by the director of the Institute of Forensic Medicine, Francesco Ventura, on 20 January. The examination will serve to clarify how Emanuele died. "He had no signs of burns, only soot-stained shoes, his documents and phone were on him, how come he was not immediately identified?" commented Vaccaro.

An autopsy will be performed at the Gemelli polyclinic in Rome for Riccardo Minghetti, the 16-year-old Roman victim of the New Year's Eve fire in Crans-Montana. Professor Antonio Oliva, professor of forensic medicine at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the Catholic University - Rome Campus, has been commissioned by the public prosecutor's office to carry out the autopsy. The examinations will be carried out with a team of forensic doctors, radiologists and toxicologists: a CT scan and then an autopsy will be performed at the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Catholic University - Gemelli Polyclinic Foundation.

The autopsy (which should have been held today) ordered by the Bologna Public Prosecutor's Office by delegation of the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office, on the body of Giovanni Tamburi, 16, one of the young Italians who died on New Year's Eve in the fire at Crans-Montana, has been postponed. It is reported that the examination is likely to be carried out on Friday and will be performed by forensic scientist Paolo Fais. The funeral of the 16-year-old had been held last Wednesday, but two days later the body was exhumed by order of the judiciary.

The aim of the investigation is to clarify the cause of the young man's death, i.e. whether it was due to burns or smoke fumes (as it would appear) or something else. The postponement of the autopsy is said to be due to the fact that if the managers of the 'Le Constellation' club were to be investigated, it would be necessary to figure out how to proceed, for example, by involving them with notices of investigation. The prosecutor in charge of the file is Roberto Ceroni.

The helicopter carrying Leonardo Bove, the 16-year-old boy injured in the New Year's Eve crash in Crans-Montana, who was admitted to the Hospital of Zurich, arrived in the evening of Sunday 11 January at Niguarda Hospital in Milan. He has burns on more than 50 per cent of his body surface and damage caused by inhaling poisonous fumes.

The go-ahead for the transport arrived on Sunday morning, but they had to wait for the weather conditions to improve before the Areu helicopter could take him back to Milan from Bergamo. Also on board the helicopter that took Leonardo Bove from Zurich to Niguarda Hospital in Milan was his mother Loretta. His father Gabriele, who was with them in Switzerland, also returned to Milan.
