THE MAYOR OF the Swiss town of Baden, who is also a member of parliament, was suspended today following allegations that he sent nude selfies taken at work to a woman friend.
Nude photos
Geri Muller, 53, who holds a seat for the Greens in the legislature’s lower house, was temporarily relieved of his mayoral duties in the small town northwest of Zurich after the Schweiz am Sonntag newspaper reported Sunday that he had sent the nude pictures taken on his mobile phone to a female acquaintance.
Muller quickly reacted in a statement by his lawyer, saying the woman, who was not named, had threatened to go public about the photos.
Questioning
The mayor, who is on the lower house foreign affairs committee, said he himself had asked the police to intervene, said his lawyer, adding that Baden police had taken the woman in for questioning on Thursday.
The city council statement said Muller was suspended pending “clarification of the situation” but that he was presumed innocent while enquiries were underway.

I wish! Incidentally, this isn’t the first time that this house has been featured on The Journal. Is Daft leaking in under the newsroom door?
Yeah, thought I was imagining things. This was definitely posted recently enough. Get it together.
I’m sure if ya lodged an initial bid of 9 million they’d be prepared to haggle… No matter how rich you are you should always be looking to save a few bob…!
You’d want to be a fooking idiot to pay €12 million for an end of terrace house…
Beautiful house in fairness
I always wanted to buy this house, ever since I was a small child coming back to Dublin on the train from holidays in Wexford, I used to look at that house and say one day I will live there.. Things haven’t quite worked out as they were supposed to as I write this from my 3 bed semi in leixlip… Ah well I could still win the auld lotto!!!
You’d need the euro millions for this :)
The house actually overlooks Killiney Bay. Dublin Bay is the other side of a line from Sorrento Point to Howth.
I got a view of Dublin Bay this morning http://www.d4h.org/company/lighthouse-hq and it cost me nothing!
Looked at the pics of the martello tower. Looks amazing even if you seem to get a bedroom/bathroom for your money! Also fancy estate agents using drones to take pics of properties now! The recession is over for estate agents in dublin anyway!
It’s “news” stories like this that helped land the country in the crapper in the first place. It’s because of the penthouse that we ended up in the outhouse.
‘If only I won the lotto’ then still realising you’re 10million short!!
€10M ??? I’ll give you an 8-man tent and me old ford escort …. Have we a deal ?
Oh €12M ??? My mistake deal off !!!
It’s the end terrace…. I thought you got the whole block for 12 million.
The north side? Thanks but no dance love.
Your geography skills are second to none…. Perhaps some more reading up is due.
Maybe Gilmore will purchase this property for his retirement from politics.
Didn’t need to listen in geography class – sure daddy has a job lined up for him :-)
Is that your boyfriend with you in your profile pic?
You sound really thick ignorant. Are you from Belfast?
The irony!
Bobby uncalled for,everyone in Belfast are not ignorant.
They’ll be in the sea soon enough with more storms and erosion. Unless Lex Luther gets there first.
Give me The Dalkey Archive and a few pints any day………..
Beautiful on a day that the sky is blue and the sun shining! Just imagine on a normal Irish day, grey sky, rain lashing off the windows, etc etc………not worth €12m for a view of grey skies.
Agreed Baps. Why anyone would want to pay that sum to live in such a miserable country is beyond me.
Clearly they have the money but not he sense to move to better pastures.

People don’t usually buy in Ireland for the weather. If it was in Galway or the west id agree with you. The house is located in the sunnier more driest part of Ireland.
My favourite out of all those pictures is the night view on the balcony stunning. If i lived in a nice little cottage with that view i would be happy.
I would prefer the Amalphi coast myself, but go on…
West coast is nicer.
I spent 3 years working on an album. We never preformed live. Because of free downloading we got on to radio play, loads of reviews and loads of fans. Asking someone for a few euro for an album that takes a massive amount of work and time doesn’t make sense to me. People download it all the time and email us and say hi and well done. And more importantly the album makes sense to them, they identify with it.
Why should a record label decide what people should listen to. Sure, look at the state of Irish music today – clearly labels have no taste.
Lisa hannigan hiding sweets and buttons in her pockets – her albums like a weather’s original add. Shocking stuff.
Does the night bus go out that way
Nobody are going to buy it
Same price as the huge mansion in Malibu
