The lawyers of Jessica and Jacques Moretti, owners of a Swiss bar where a deadly fire killed 40 people on New Year's Eve, have defended their clients against accusations and media stories. They claim the couple was unaware of any dangers at their venue and are devastated by the tragedy. Initial investigations suggest the fire was caused by sparklers igniting flammable foam in the ceiling, and the bar had not undergone safety checks for five years. The couple faces legal scrutiny, with Jessica under a travel ban and Jacques in custody. The lawyers emphasize their clients' innocence and the need to clarify the truth. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
