The Swiss bar hit by deadly fire had not been inspected in 5 years, local authorities said Tuesday.
Le Constellation bar, where dozens died in a New Year’s Eve inferno, had not had a fire inspection since 2020, the president of the Crans-Montana council said.
Nicolas Féraud told journalists at a press conference that the council “bitterly regrets” the discovery of the lack of inspections at the establishment. “We will shoulder all the responsibility that the justice system attributes to us,” he added.
