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.

Hackman and Borgnine made the Poseidon Adventure such a brilliant movie
@Dr Albert S Meinheimer: “I’m Gonna nail ya for picking your foot in Poughkeepsie”
RIP Gene and wife. The French connections, two of the best ever.
A fantastic and brilliant actor. The Conversation is excellent, as is Mississipi Birning, Unfoeg8ven etc
@AnthonyK: indeed did he ever make a bad film – I don’t think so !!
RIP Popeye, a true acting legend.
“least likely to succeed”
There’s a fair number of people who earned that tag in school or college, and proved the experts very wrong indeed.
R.I.P. – one of the true greats
One of my all time favourite actors. He was simply outstanding. RIP
He despised the real Popeye Doyle, but used that in building up such a good portrayal of the character. A real actor, not some plastic hero.
“Listen to me you backwoods 5hita55 you. You got about two seconds to get the Sheriff out here or I’m gonna kick the God damn door in. OK?”
What a man and lady. God bless ye.
Night Moves is one of his less well known movies but one of my favourites of his
Another good film he was also in was ‘Narrow Margin’. I don’t know if it was a straight to DVD film?
@Daniel Kelly: yea narrow margin great movie, the first gene hackman movie I watched was target with matt dillon another great actor and a very good film IMHO.
“little ducks, there is trouble in Russia, so they called us. “
Cue “tributes” from so called journos who’ve been feverishly taking notes from Wikipedia
@Padraig O’Brien:
I thought he was great in “Enemy of the state” it’s a movie about Robert Dean who accidentally gets hold of a videotape that contains evidence of congressman Phil Hammersley’s murder. His life takes a drastic turn when he comes under the surveillance of NSA agents.
@KTH: brilliant research !!
RIP mr Luther
The article doesn’t mention his wife or did I miss that?
@SOCOMJON: Yes you missed that…She died with him…RIP to them both….
Brilliant as Mrs Doubtfire.
@Mr “JonnieBoy” Johnson: Did you give yourself the 1 like?
By coincidence, Hackman’s 1975 “Bite the Bullet” is the TG4 Western tonight.
have your say
