Summary:
Swiss authorities have taken one of the owners of the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana into custody following a devastating New Year’s Eve fire that killed 40 people and injured over 100 during celebrations at the popular ski resort venue. Jacques Moretti, a French co-owner of the bar, was detained by prosecutors on suspicions including negligent homicide and related charges and because he was considered a potential flight risk amid the ongoing investigation. The blaze — believed to have been sparked by celebratory sparklers that ignited interior materials — has prompted national mourning and scrutiny of safety inspections after it emerged the venue had not been properly checked for years.

Summary:
The United States has seized another oil tanker tied to Venezuela’s oil trade as part of an intensified campaign to enforce sanctions and curb illegal exports. U.S. forces — including the Coast Guard and military — intercepted the vessel, believed to be carrying or linked to embargoed Venezuelan crude, in the Caribbean Sea. This latest capture follows a series of similar actions in recent weeks targeting a “shadow fleet” of tankers that have been trying to evade sanctions, some by sailing under false or foreign flags. U.S. officials say the move is intended to tighten control over Venezuelan oil flows and enforce compliance with U.S. sanctions, but it has heightened geopolitical tensions and drawn criticism from Caracas and other governments.
