A staff member who was working at the Swiss bar where a deadly fire broke out on New Year's Eve received no safety training and was unaware of the danger posed by the ceiling that caught alight, her family's lawyer has alleged.
Cyane Panine, 24, died in the fire at Le Constellation bar in Crans Montana and was widely identified in a video wearing a helmet and holding a champagne bottle with a sparkler attached when the ceiling caught fire.
The bar's French owners, Jacques and Jessica Moretti, have been accused by authorities of manslaughter by negligence, bodily harm by negligence and arson by negligence.
Forty people were killed and 116 were injured in the blaze in southwest Switzerland.
In a statement to the BBC, Sophie Haenni, the lawyer representing Panine's family, said she "wasn't supposed to be serving tables" on the night of the fire but had been asked to go downstairs to help manage high demand for bottles.
