His dangerous unauthorized changes turned Le Constellation into a true death trap.Jacques Moretti, 49 years old, had a dubious reputation with a lengthy criminal biography. He had been convicted for fraud, kidnapping, and unlawful confinement. The bar owner attempted to carry out unauthorized renovations, which ultimately led to this horrific catastrophe.

“It was terrifying. No one could have imagined that this could happen,” witnesses said.
