The bodies of five of the six young Italians who died in the Crans-Montana massacre are returning to Italy on a state flight.
At Linate airport to welcome the coffins of the teenagers killed in the fire that broke out in the “Le Constellation” club on New Year's Eve were the President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa , the Undersecretary Alberto Barachini and the Head of the Civil Protection Department, Fabio Ciciliano , together with the Presidents of the Lombardy, Liguria and Emilia-Romagna Regions, Attilio Fontana, Marco Bucci and Michele de Pascale , and the Mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala .
Along with the Milanese victims, the two friends Achille Barosi and Chiara Costanzo , also the bodies of Giovanni Tamburi from Bologna and Emanuele Galeppini from Genoa, which were then transported to their cities of origin.
Instead, in Ciampino the coffin of the Roman Riccardo Minghetti was welcomed by the Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Antonio Tajani , and by the Minister of Sport Andrea Abodi.
Upon the coffins' departure from Switzerland, Italian Ambassador Gian Lorenzo Cornado returned to the topic of the tragedy, explaining that he had learned from Swiss authorities that the ceiling of the room "was flammable, not fireproof." "What I know is that if there was an emergency exit, it was poorly marked, and in the midst of that disaster, the children didn't even see it," Cornado added to reporters.
Speaking of Jacques and Jessica Moretti, the managers of the club—where 40 people died and 120 were injured—the ambassador stated: "In Italy they would have been arrested."
