ItalyThe municipality of Crans-Montana was aware of the fire risk posed by the sound-absorbing foam used in the Constellation nightclub, according to an email sent by former council member Rose-Marie Clavien between 2017 and 2024. The email, reported by the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger and cited by the Italian newspaper Messaggero, suggests that local authorities were informed of this danger. Additionally, the club’s owner, Jessica Moretti, had warned employees in December 2019 about the potential risks of using pyrotechnic candles on the foam-covered ceiling. Despite these warnings, the fire broke out six years later on January 1, 2021, killing 41 people and injuring 115. Families of victims have called for transparency and clarity in the ongoing investigation into the tragedy.
