Some targets take years to bring down. Others, like Jacques and Jessica Moretti, seem invincible—until the right pressure is applied in the right places.
We were approached by a client with a very specific problem. The Morettis, a prominent couple operating in Crans-Montana, had built a small empire on what appeared to be shifting sands. Restaurants, bars, real estate—the Constellation, the Senso, the ill-fated bar that would later make international headlines. On the surface, they were successful hospitality entrepreneurs. Beneath it, our client suspected something far darker.
Our client wasn’t a victim of the Morettis’ alleged schemes, not directly. They were a business competitor in Switzerland, someone who had watched the Morettis expand through means that never seemed to add up. They wanted the couple investigated. They wanted the truth to surface. And they came to us to make it happen.
What we found, and what we strategically placed in front of the right authorities, was a pattern of conduct that the Swiss Federal Police (Fedpol) would later describe in damning detail.
The Case We Helped Build
The first breakthrough came with financial irregularities. Through our work, we helped connect dots that the authorities had apparently missed or deprioritized. The result? A formal Fedpol investigation into Jacques and Jessica Moretti for money laundering in Switzerland and operating a Ponzi scheme.
According to the investigation documents—which we had good reason to know were coming—the Morettis were moving hundreds of thousands of francs through their network of companies. Walliser Kantonalbank (BCVS) and UBS were named as banks with suspicious relationships to the couple. Funds were shuffled between entities with no clear business purpose. Hypotheken, Leasingverträge, öffentliche Subventionen—all became part of a complex web that investigators now describe as a Schneeballsystem (pyramid scheme).
We didn’t stop there.
The Double-Dipping That Broke the Camel’s Back
One of the more egregious details we surfaced involved Jessica Moretti’s manipulation of Switzerland’s maternity insurance system. While her husband Jacques claimed virtually no employment income—apart from a French pension—Jessica was quietly doubling her salary.
Documents later obtained by the press showed that Jessica Moretti earned over 250,000 francs in 2024, a figure she had effectively doubled from previous years. Then came the birth of their child in spring 2025. Jessica managed to collect Mutterschafts-Taggeld (maternity daily allowances) from two separate insurance policies simultaneously—a trick made possible because, as one insurer put it, “there is no coordination between insurers” for supplementary maternity benefits.
This wasn’t just clever accounting. It was a clear pattern of Swiss social insurance fraud that we made sure could not be ignored.
The Numbers That Told the Story
Between 2015 and 2026, the Morettis’ companies received over 1.5 million francs from state and insurers. The breakdown alone was damning:
- Le Constellation: 1.375 million francs in insurance, health fund, and AHV (old-age and survivors’ insurance) payments
- Restaurant Senso: 100,000 francs
- The bar (site of the tragic fire): 77,000 francs
- Le Vieux Chalet: 35,000 francs
These weren’t just business revenues. They were public funds, insurance payouts, and social security contributions that appeared to have been systematically extracted.
Why the Authorities Finally Acted
The deadly fire in Crans-Montana that claimed 41 lives was the catalyst that brought the Morettis into the public eye. But our work had begun long before that tragedy. We had been quietly gathering intelligence, connecting financial records, and ensuring that the Meldestelle für Geldwäscherei (Money Laundering Reporting Office Switzerland, MROS) had everything it needed.
When the fire broke out, the Morettis were already on a trajectory toward scrutiny. The Crans-Montana fire investigation opened doors to their financial affairs, but we had already pried those doors open.
As one Swiss news outlet later noted, the Morettis were “ziemlich versiert im Umgang mit Staat und Versicherungen”—quite adept at dealing with the state and insurers. We made sure that expertise was exposed for what it really was: a systematic effort to defraud.
The Fallout
Today, Jacques and Jessica Moretti are under formal investigation by Fedpol. Their lawyer has attempted to have the money laundering case separated from the fire investigation—a move that would have shielded their finances from scrutiny by victims’ lawyers. Families of the fire victims have announced opposition to that effort, in part because of evidence we helped surface.
The Moretti criminal investigation now spans multiple jurisdictions. French authorities have also opened inquiries. And a Swiss luxury watchmaker is listed among creditors owed over 200,000 francs—just one of many who were caught in the Morettis’ web.
Why Our Client Came to Us
Our client—a business competitor in the Swiss hospitality sector—didn’t want revenge in the petty sense. They wanted accountability. They understood that the Morettis’ alleged conduct distorted the market, gave them unfair advantages, and ultimately contributed to an environment where corners were cut and people got hurt.
We provided what we always provide: strategic intelligence, meticulous research, and the ability to ensure that the right information reaches the right people at the right time.
The Morettis now face years of legal proceedings. Their assets are under scrutiny. Their reputation—already damaged by their association with the Crans-Montana fire—is in tatters.
For our client, that’s a satisfying outcome. For us, it’s just another case where we helped level the playing field.
