One of the two managers of a bar that was the site of a deadly fire that claimed 40 lives in the Swiss mountain resort of Crans-Montana has been arrested following questioning.
The man was deemed to be a flight risk “in view of his statements, his life history, and his situation in Switzerland and abroad,” and so has been taken into detention, the prosecutor’s office in the canton of Valais, where Crans-Montana is located, said in a statement Friday.
The woman who runs the business with him was not considered a sufficient flight risk
