biography

From 1974 to 1977 he completed an administrative apprenticeship at the municipal administration in Sins, Canton Aargau . After professional practice and stays abroad, he obtained the parish clerk's license in 1981 and worked as a parish clerk in Sins until 1989. In 1990 he obtained the notary's license for the canton of Zug and was employed as a notary and community clerk in Baar until 2001 . In 2002 he went into business for himself with his own fiduciary office .

From 1995 to 2006 Villiger was in the Cantonal Council of Zug , from 2001 as head of the CVP parliamentary group . In 2001 he was one of the survivors of the Zug attack when the perpetrator Friedrich Leibacher shot 14 politicians in the Zug Cantonal Council. Villiger was able to save himself from Leibacher's shots by jumping out the window.

Since January 2007 he has been on the government council and heads the security department. In October 2018 it became public that criminal proceedings were initiated against him in 2017. He was charged with repeatedly leaving his car to someone who did not have a driver's license. In addition, the allegation of forgery of documents was raised. The criminal proceedings were finally closed, which was criticized by various criminal law experts. In addition, the online magazine Republik.ch was only able to report on the case to a limited extent due to a super-provisional order from the Zurich District Court shortly before the Zug government was re-elected.

The Lucerne public prosecutor's office was accused of favoring Beat Villiger in the criminal proceedings. An external investigation invalidated all allegations and showed that the proceedings were legally terminated.

On October 7th, he was re-elected in third place in the government elections and asked for time to see if he would continue in office. He accepted re-election on October 18.
