The owner of the Swiss bar that burned down on New Year's has been released from preventive detention after a relative paid a bail of 215,000 euros, but with severe restrictions.

Jacques Moretti was placed in preventive detention on January 9, and the court confirmed the measure for three months. His defense team requested release under conditions, including the payment of a bail of approximately 215,000 euros, an amount that was covered by a close associate of Moretti. The court imposed restrictions, including a ban on leaving Switzerland, surrendering identity documents, and daily reporting to the police.

The lawyers for the victims' families have insisted on arrest, criticizing the authorities for the way they handled the case. Lawyer Christophe de Galembert stated that the court's decision is shocking, considering the serious suspicions hanging over Moretti. The investigation is ongoing, and the interrogations of the Moretti couple have been intense, without comments from the defense.
