New judicial hearings regarding the 2015 tragedy at the Le Constellation venue in Chermingon reveal that the establishment opened without any safety inspections. According to reporting by Le Temps and L’Indépendant, the municipality’s safety officer confessed that zero official checks were conducted before operators Jacques and Jessica Moretti inaugurated the site.
Unchecked Inauguration and Missing Follow-Ups
Judicial investigations into the origins of the Crans-Montana disaster highlight critical administrative failures leading up to the 2015 opening in Chermingon. According to Le Temps, testimonies exposed a system of blind signatures and nonexistent follow-up oversight by local authorities. L’Indépendant reports that the municipal safety official admitted to investigators that no safety checks took place at Le Constellation prior to the launch hosted by Jacques and Jessica Moretti.
Blocked Emergency Exits Hampered Evacuation
Recent findings also clarify physical obstacles that worsened the incident inside the venue. According to Yahoo Life France, investigators identified who placed a chair directly in front of an emergency exit at Le Constellation, which severely hindered the evacuation process when the tragedy unfolded.
