André Marty appointed new head of communications at the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland
Former SRF Middle East correspondent André Marty is to become the new head of communications at the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland. The 49-year-old will take up the newly created post on March 1.
The appointment of the chief information officer underscores the effort to "provide transparent and timely information within the framework of the possibilities set by criminal law," the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland told the SDA news agency on Saturday. Marty has many years of diverse experience as a journalist.
After working for various newspapers, the Valais native moved to Swiss television SRF, where he worked as Italy and Middle East correspondent, among other positions. For the last three years, Marty worked as a communications officer at the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA).
Marty reports directly to the Attorney General. Jeanette Balmer remains media spokeswoman for the Office of the Attorney General. (SDA)
