One guy is pulling his ear.

Given that he stabbed one of their own, that's probably not the last appendage that gets pulled on.

Thanks SRJ I needed a good laugh before retiring!

He looks British not Swiss!

[A_MIKE_U_LIKE]

Well he looks a bit Heinz 57 Different Variates to me ...Hard to say where his origins are from ...What,s concerning is if he was not alone in his venture and has accomplacies ..Is the Vicitms Family still safe ????

[PETDCAT]

I wonder if he will have to pay overstay charges when he gets out of prison?

[Globeliner]

Deserves all he gets

[rstrauss]

As a Swiss myself, i would like to add my 2 cents:
- there is not one Carlos Minnig registered in phone directory of Switzerland
- it is not a Swiss name. Rather Spanish.
- He doesn't look Swiss either. How do they know, when they didn't see his passport?
- Swiss don't extort money from each other. This is simply a business not known here. Go to Italy.

Strange story and to be taken with a grain of salt.

Yea..and what have the Italians and Spanish done to you Strauss?

Call yourself a swiss?

[CHAIYES]

Sorry if I am repeating posts here (did not bother to read all the b*******T!) but .... hey look all you farangs; THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THEY DONT WANT US HERE.... quality tourists or nor not!

He looks quite Asian to me.

IMHO He looks Phillipino - probably residing in Switzerland - a typical expat. I would think that the Thai Police will see that he is comfortable in his new "neutral" surroundings.

Well, honestly he doesn't look very Swiss to me but not very British either like one of the posters suggested.
Maybe Mr. 'super clean' businessman knows him from previous dealings and told told them so.
Can't help it but an SMS like, let's say:'Hi, I'm from Winchester in England and I want your money or I'll kill your hamster' doesn't sound right to me.

Have any of you been in that kind of situation before?
Because, if you havn't, I can assure you it's not nice. The ink off the fingerprint stuff lasts forever, the people come in with cameras and "flash around". It's not very nice - and that's as big an understatement as I can make.
It certainly dosn't look good for this person as he seems to have stabbed a police officer, but for all of you who speak vengence (with few posts) and tear into him from a rascist point of view :
Live on.
It dosn't look good for him though.

Sounds like you have. Care to elaborate? No details necessary.

and WHY should he been registred in swiss telephone directory if he is living in Asia @ Mr. Strauss??

furthermore it seems to me like a swiss guy and a swiss name, you will find some ppl with the name in Bern Zurich and other swiss citys....dont belive? just GOOGLE

bad luck for him but, he deserves jail for a crime like that......if the story is true.........

[Virgil]

Lock 'em up! Lock 'em all up!!!

Virgil, Out!

[Virgil]

Hey rstrauss,

I have phones in three countries and I am not listed in any phone book in any of them. Too many hot chicks trying to get my number !!!

Virgil, Out!!!

Couldn't resist .... sorry!!!

[nikster]

good to see police doing their job... i am getting the feeling that police is currently getting better.

personally I don't care very much if the criminal is swiss or anything else. i assume the other swiss guy told the police he is swiss so chances are he is. but... who cares?! where is this world going when even expats are racist/nationalistic?

[marcortez]

Two guys come rushing out of the jungle and begin, what you think, is an attack on you.
In self defense, you brandish that knife your carrying for cleaning your fingernails and attempt to put up a defense as best you can.

Survival instincts take over, your out numbered, stabbing motions are made on TWO thugs who are attempting to perhaps, cause great bodily harm to you. You see a flash of metal waving about..."oh my god there going to kill me"

Your honor, what the defendant thought he saw, was not the badges of the officers, but a weapon of sorts, possilby a stabbing instrument flailing around. Hence his natural response of self defense.

Your honor, any person faced with this onslaught of sheer fear and terror would do the very same thing.
I respectfully request that the charge of assault be dismissed your honor, as it was committed during an act of self defense.

Talk to the hand....


But you do make a good point, Carlos of St. Marries, probbably thought they were some hired goons that worked for the guy he was trying to shake down.

Oh well, he is a gonner anyhow.

[kenk3z]

The rumor going around is that he's been placed on assisted suicide watch, but that they forgot to remove his socks.......

P.S. All those darned Swiss are the same, aren't they?

Good point, Mr. Strauss, but he said he was Swiss and this was absolutely confirmed by the TAG Heuer watch he was wearing (not viewable in the photo).

Mr. Strauss is right, he doesn't look like a 100% Swiss.

He's probably a Japanese/Korean-Swiss, born out of a Korean mother and a guestworker from Japan working in a restaurant in Switzerland who was born out of a mixed marriage between an Italian/Chinese and the Consul of Russia.

The (unseen) TAG Heuer watch was -most likely- inherited from his greatgrandfather from Brasil. That's why he has a Swiss passport

Naaaahhhh; you got that all wrong; the good Swiss man was just about to peel an orange (Vitamin-C ! !) and just then, these "thugs" came at him. Of course his "Swiss Army Knife" was already open en the mufty-cop simply "walked into it" . . . . . . . . could happen to any of us, hey ? ? ? ?

Personally I don't find his "citizenship" or his "Nationality" a very interesting issue; but as a human being I reckon, he has failed misserably.

Incidentally; some poster suggested he would have 'earned' 10 years in the slammer; forget it mate; with those kinds of charges he's looking at at least three (3) times that term.
