Jessica Moretti files claim for accident benefits after fire

Jessica Moretti, owner of the Le Constellation discobar in Crans-Montana, has filed a claim for daily occupational accident benefits linked to health damage from the January 1, 2026, fire, according to documents from the investigation. The disaster at the Swiss venue resulted in 41 deaths and 115 injuries, placing Moretti and her husband, Jacques, at the center of an ongoing criminal investigation for manslaughter, bodily harm, and causing a fire by negligence.

Zurich Seeks Court Approval Over Frozen Assets

The request came to light through a letter from Zurich, the insurance provider managing the claim, which was included in the dossier compiled by prosecutors in the Canton of Valais. Under Switzerland’s Federal Act on Accident Insurance (Lainf), Zurich asked the prosecution office for authorization to disburse potential payouts. According to AGI, the insurer asked the magistrates whether the daily allowances should be transferred to the account provided by the insured or directly to the judicial office.

Infatti, secondo quanto riferito dall’assicurata, i suoi conti sono attualmente bloccati e ci chiediamo a quale destinatario dovremo versare le nostre eventuali prestazioni non appena avremo potuto prendere una decisione in merito alla sua pratica.

Valais prosecutors Seppey and Roth responded to the insurer by asking for clarification regarding the specific category of daily allowances requested and their legal basis.

Moretti Remains Under Strict Domestic Arrest

While the insurance review moves forward, Moretti remains subject to strict precautionary measures, including mandatory reporting requirements that require her to stay at her residence in Lens. According to a police report detailed by AGI, local authorities check on her every two days via random WhatsApp video calls, during which she consistently confirms her presence and shares her real-time location. Investigators noted that she routinely provides advance notice of her travel schedule when visiting her defense lawyers in Geneva.

The legal situation surrounding the co-owners intensified on August 11, 2026, when Jacques Moretti was arrested on domestic violence charges involving allegations that he assaulted his wife. A local court subsequently ordered that he remain in custody at least through November 11. Meanwhile, police files indicate that Jessica Moretti has expressed deep anxiety regarding the upcoming anniversary of the tragedy, citing fears of targeted harassment, social media abuse, and public hostility from victims’ families.
