Undie cover cop boss

Fed up police minister Katarina Kresal could never be accused of a cover up after posting pictures of bras and thongs on her website.

The blonde Slovenian MP says she put them up on the site to illustrate the dirty laundry she's been landed with since she took up the job of running the country's police department.

But she's been forced to take them down after complaints that the undies were an insult to the country's coat of arms, also illustrated on the website.

"It gave a very smutty message and is not suitable for someone in such an important position," said one critic.
