Rome, 16 January. (LaPresse) – ‘With regard to the accusations against Cyane, I am truly shocked that she could be held responsible. We do not know if she started the fire, and I repeat, we are talking about a young woman of just 24 years of age who tragically lost her life in this fire, so I would show a little more respect, which is due to the memory of a victim.’ This is how the lawyer for the family of Cyane Panine, the ‘girl with the helmet,’ commented on Storie Italiane on Rai1, hosted by Eleonora Daniele, on the statements made by the Morettis, who told investigators that the young woman climbed onto the shoulders of another waiter with flares on her own initiative, thus causing the fire at Le Constellation to start. Cyane had to interrupt the workers' protection service to obtain her employment contract, pay slips and work certificate, which she was unable to obtain from her employers, so the relationship was not as idyllic as they would have us believe," continued the lawyer, adding ‘I have several testimonies that can attest to the fact that management encouraged the use of pyrotechnic devices, and Moretti himself confirmed that he never trained his employees on fire safety and security rules,’ the lawyer pointed out.
