Berset has NOT been arrested

Fake news - careful!

No, the Swiss president, Alain Berset, has not been arrested.

Thousands clicked on a fake news link yesterday – only to be taken to a page which looked like a news site run by the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation. 

That also was fake. 

It was an advert for a cypto-currency trading platform.

Many media outlets immediately reported the advert to online companies – including Google.

It has now been taken down, but experts say its almost impossible to track down those responsible.
