No Christmas for Swiss Paedophile
On November 11, 2009, a joint operation with the Thai CWD (Crimes Against Women & Children Division), Region 5 Police, Swiss Police, Forensic Police and The Grey Man resulted in the arrest of a former Swiss banker, Cornel Josef Wietlisbach. The arrest made the front page of a number of Thai newspapers as well as Blick newspaper in Switzerland. After receiving intelligence from a young boy who had been abused, a Grey Man surveillance team watched the suspect’s hotel room and noticed a number of Akha hill tribe boys going to Wietlisbach’s room. Ethnic minority groups, such as the Akha, are a typical target of paedophiles due to their poverty. On the basis of the testimony of the young boy and the surveillance material an arrest warrant was issued. In the joint operation Wietlisbach opened the door and a police officer then told him that he was under arrest on the charge of sexual penetration of a child under the age of fifteen. The suspect showed some resistance to his arrest but finally calmed down. The police announced his basic rights and took him into custody. There were two boys sleeping in the bed and they were taken to the police station in a separate vehicle.
Searching the suspec'ts room
Wietlisbach denied all charges and refused to say a word until his lawyer arrived. A search of his room found an external flash drive and a digital camera contained pictures of unidentified naked boys. Other forensic evidence was also collected.
Wietlisbach was denied bail and his court case will be scheduled for 2010. A nice christmas present for Grey Man but no Happy New Year for Wietlisbach.

Just read… this guy only paid a 125 dollar fine and was sent back to Switzerland. In other words…. he got off with absolutely no punishment.
A Swiss Banker is probably the lowest form of humanity (even among bankers). They make money by helping criminals and tax-cheats…. so their business model is based on crime. Screwing a little boy is probably not a big deal for a Swiss person.
I have been to Switzerland… yes, there are lots of museums, fancy places,… but it is mostly built on black money. Even the drug industry (Novartis) makes money by focusing on non-curative drugs (i.e. drugs that cure anything but just make you feel better).
Switzerland is a pretty sick country, -the US should drop a couple of bombs one of these days…. will hurt criminals in Switzerland as well as other countries.

Thanks for the comments guys. As for Swiss Banker this is the last that we at Grey Man heard as well. Unfortunately, this is the reason we don’t put much of our resources into arresting paedophiles. The police often ask for assistance, we provide it, and then the courts let us down because someone, somewhere, gets paid off.
We estimate we get a decent conviction in about half of those we have arrested. Until corruption ends that will continue to be the reality and all we can do is what we can. Don’t blame the Swiss, Sanoran, as the Swiss police did as much as they could as well. It is up to the governments and courts to start taking paedophilia as a serious crime.
