Cran-Montana: No Safety Checks at Fatal Club for 5 Years

The president of the Cran-Montana community admitted that no safety checks were conducted at the "Le Constellation" club after 2019, contributing to the New Year's tragedy that claimed 40 lives. Authorities believe the fire started from fireworks igniting soundproofing panels on the roof. Despite positive inspections in 2019, the soundproofing material was not checked. Sparklers have been banned in catering establishments, and authorities are investigating the bar owners for crimes of negligence, having also closed another bar they own.
