The waitress blamed for starting the New Year’s fire at a Swiss ski resort bar was made to wear a promotional crash helmet, which prevented her from seeing sparklers, a witness has claimed.
Cyane Panine, 24, was filmed wearing the crash helmet from Dom Perignon, the Champagne brand, as she was lifted onto the shoulders of Mateo Lesguer, 23, the in-house DJ.
This was ‘at the request’ of the bar manager, Jessica Moretti, 40, the witness states in an official report compiled by the Swiss authorities.
The Dom Perignon ‘motorcycle crash helmet’ covered Cyane’s face completely with a black visor, meaning she could hardly see anything as she carried champagne bottles plugged with sparklers.
The sparklers are said to have ignited soundproofing foam in the basement ceiling, leading to 40 deaths and 116 others being horrifically burned at Le Constellation in Crans-Montana.
Mateo, who was wearing a carnival mask that also hid his face, tragically died alongside Cyane in the bar.
Ms Moretti is now under investigation for multiple alleged crimes, including ‘manslaughter by negligence’.
The bar manager, who is currently on bail and wearing an electronic tag, has confirmed the battery-powered helmet, which flashed from green to pink, was part of a stunt designed to sell champagne.
