Mayor suspended after taking nude selfies

 Geneva - The mayor of the Swiss town of Baden, who is
also a member of parliament, was suspended on Monday
following allegations that he sent nude selfies taken at
work to a woman friend.
Geri Muller, aged 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 on
Sunday that he had sent the nude pictures taken on his
cellphone 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. He said she had also threatened
to commit suicide.
The mayor, who is on the lower house foreign affairs
committee, said he himself had asked the police to
intervene, his lawyer said on Sunday, and 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.
