An employee of the Swiss Parliament tweeted 'selfies' naked from work, generating much controversy in the country. However, she insists that the pictures did not violate the guidelines for federal employees because they were part of her private life, reports the newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung.

The woman, whose identity has not leaked to the press, shared self-portraits with her 11,000 Twitter followers.

"Parliamentarians services will have to decide whether this case violates the obligations of good faith between employee and employer," said a spokesman of the personnel department of the Government.
