Who is the Swiss politician accused of drugging and sexually abusing an Irish girl and her mother?
Swiss media have compared what happened to Irish teenager Paula and her mother, Iwona, to the Pelicot case in France.
Prosecutors allege that Patrick Frei, 57, drugged and raped both Paula, then aged 14, and her mother, Iwona while they were living with him in the Swiss town of Untersiggenthal. It is also alleged that he filmed the assaults.
Paula and Iwona had moved from their home in Sligo in 2022 to live with Frei, a high-profile right-wing politician, a year after Iwona and Frei had begun a long-distance relationship.
So how did the case come to light and when did the alleged abuse begin?…
