A former member of the Aargau cantonal parliament, associated with the Swiss People’s Party (SVP), has had his detention extended to a total of 21 months while investigations into allegations of sexual acts with children continue. The prosecutor’s office cites the complexity of the case as justification for the lengthy detention, which is notably rare. The former politician resigned following his arrest in September 2023, and the ongoing investigation is expected to lead to a heavier sentence if the allegations are substantiated.
