Can’t even imagine the pain. Families physically attacking the owners, 41 dead, dozens critically burned, all because of one packed nightclub inferno on NYE. Swiss authorities better not sweep this under the rug. Accountability has to come fast.
They really deserve to get the book thrown at them.
My friend was there. He narrowly escaped… what a sad situation.
While i totally understand the sentiment, this was not very smart by the families, if they want the accused to get a harsh punishment.
Press smear campaigns (there were a lot of factually false reports about the accused), as well as lynch mob mentality and threats by the families against the accused will unfortunately force (under Swiss law and federal supreme court precedent) the courts to give the accused a (potentially substantial) sentence reduction.
See also [this article](https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/katastrophe-von-crans-montana-das-quasi-oeffentliche-verfahren-kann-tiefere-strafen-bedeuten) „The quasi-public trial can mean lighter sentences.“ (in German) published yesterday by Swiss public television, which mentions:
>Above-average media coverage can lead to a prejudgment for the accused. And this, in turn, can be considered a mitigating factor by a court, leading to a corresponding reduction in the sentence. „A media prejudgment can influence the sentence,“ says criminal law professor Markwalder. „If the burden of the prejudgment has been very high, the court can take this into account. The trial itself, with intensive media coverage, can be a greater burden than the actual sentence.“
>Fire safety inspections had not been carried out since 2019.
:)))
how is this even possible? It’s a mandatory procedure, without which (at least in the countries i know) your establishment won’t be allowed to work.
Who gave permission to work in that buikding?
It’s not the families of the deceased who are going to investigate, right?
i want people to pay attention a little higher than where they are looking, like, ofc, not only owner is the evil guy, there a lot of more who need to be placed into prison
This is what happens when people lost trust in the justice system. The rich consistently get away with murder knowing that they won’t be held accountable. At one point people start taking matters in their own hands.
their own stupidity is what killed them
