The tragic New Year’s Eve fire at a nightclub in the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana continues to shock Switzerland, as the families of victims seek justice through the courts. Relatives of those who lost their lives or were injured in the blaze have filed official lawsuits with the Swiss public prosecutor, according to a lawyer representing a group of plaintiffs.

Each family has submitted a formal civil claim, which has been accepted by prosecutors. The legal action is directed “against all those responsible, without exception,” the lawyer said, without specifying individual defendants.

The deadly fire broke out at the nightclub “Le Constellation” during New Year celebrations. Authorities are investigating potential criminal liability, including suspected negligent homicide and other offenses. The club’s owners are reportedly among those under scrutiny as the inquiry expands.

Investigators are focusing on fire safety and general security conditions at the venue. Local authorities have acknowledged that the nightclub had not undergone any safety inspection for the past six years, raising serious questions about oversight and compliance.
