Crans-Montana — As scrutiny continues around nightlife practices in Crans-Montana, a former bar employee has come forward with troubling allegations involving Jacques Moretti.

In a detailed account, the former worker described an environment where, according to him, profit took priority over rules, safety, and legal boundaries.

“Jacques is someone who only sees money,” the former employee said.

Allegations of Expired Ingredients

According to the former staff member, employees were allegedly forced to use expired fruit juices when preparing cocktails for customers.

The worker claims he and others were instructed to continue serving drinks despite knowing the ingredients were no longer within their recommended use period.

He said the practice caused internal tension, with some employees uncomfortable about serving products they believed should have been discarded.

Claims of Serving Alcohol to Minors

Perhaps more serious are the allegations involving underage customers.

The former employee stated that he personally refused to serve minors, citing legal restrictions on serving strong alcohol to individuals under the legal drinking age.

“I refused minors because they do not have the right to consume strong alcohol,” he said.

According to his account, this refusal was not accepted by management. He alleges that Jacques Moretti forced staff to serve strong alcoholic beverages to minors despite the law.

“We Were Forced”

The former worker emphasized that the pressure came directly from management.

He described situations where employees felt compelled to comply with instructions, even when they believed those instructions violated legal and ethical standards.

The allegations are presented as personal testimony and have not yet been confirmed by authorities.

Legal and Regulatory Context

In Switzerland, the sale of strong alcohol to minors is strictly regulated. Businesses serving alcohol are required to verify age and comply with licensing laws.

If proven, the allegations described by the former employee could raise serious regulatory and legal questions.

However, no official findings or charges related to these claims have been announced at this time.

Management Response and Investigation Status

As of now, there has been no public response from Jacques Moretti regarding the former employee’s statements.

Authorities have not confirmed whether these allegations are part of any ongoing investigation. The testimony represents one individual’s account and has not been independently verified.

A Pattern of Pressure?

The former employee described a workplace culture where staff felt pressured to prioritize revenue over compliance.

He said that refusing to follow instructions often resulted in tension with management, leaving workers feeling trapped between legal obligations and job security.

Why the Testimony Matters

Such accounts are significant because they provide insight into internal practices that are rarely visible to the public.

Former employees often play a critical role in shedding light on workplace conduct, particularly in industries involving health, safety, and alcohol regulation.

What Happens Next

At this stage, the claims remain allegations. Authorities would need to assess evidence, interview witnesses, and determine whether further action is warranted.

For now, the former employee’s account adds to growing scrutiny surrounding bar operations and compliance with alcohol laws in Crans-Montana.
