Swiss man, illegally in Thailand, to be deported to face charges of spreading disease

A 42-year-old Swiss man, who was wanted in his home country for intentionally spreading a communicable disease and was captured in Surat Thani’s Koh Samui on March 14, will soon be deported to face prosecution in Switzerland, Tourist Police Bureau deputy head Maj-General Surachet Hakpan told the press on Friday.

 

The arrest of Swiss national Gerber Enzo stemmed from a previous attempt by the Swiss police request to have him arrested in Thailand over a 2013 bank robbery worth 645,000 Swiss francs (about Bt22 million).

 

After Thai police had caught him and sent him back to face prosecution in Switzerland, he was jailed for two years and six months over the robbery.

 

Released from prison, he is alleged to have intentionally spread a communicable disease, resulting in a second arrest warrant, and he again fled to Thailand, Surachet said.

 

As his passport was revoked, Enzo was denied entry at the Satun immigration checkpoint and resorted to illegally entering the country via a natural channel in 2016. Enzo was finally re-captured on March 14 in Koh Samui.

Again Big Joke! That guy alone works harder than the whole policeforce it seems.

That, in itself, is a joke of a sentence for a bank robbery.

So he must be looking at at least 30 days for his latest misdemeanor ?

Don't be so hard on him! I'm sure he had a difficult childhood. 

I heard he has elephantiasis.

For sure someone you could trust with your investment portfolio.

Reminds me of the story of the old guy in the bar and a young guy with coloured tattoos all over his face is sitting close by.

What you looking at? asks the young guy.

Old guy replies, when I was in Brazil, I was 19 and I got really p-ss-d one night, my mates told me I screwed a parrot, I'm just thinking we could be related.

Thai police officers stand next an information board, with a picture of Swiss national Enzo Gerber, during a press conference at the Immigration Bureau in Bangkok, Thailand, 30 March 2018. According to Thai police officials, officers arrested Swiss national Enzo Gerber on the island of Samui in Surat Thani province, southern Thailand during the X-ray Outlaw Foreigners operation on 18 March 2018, after he was denied entry into Thailand on 18 April 2016. Gerber is wanted in Switzerland for intentionally spreading disease and for allegedly being involved in a bank robbery in 2013.

The Swiss government may incarcerate him for a longer period this time, perhaps longer than 30 days, then he can come back to Thailand yet again.

I took it that he was the guy in the middle of the top photo, with specs on. Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm weak and maybe I'm strong but nevertheless..........

..............but never the less......... it's a pretty wild guess, it's probably his counsel to help him confess.

Could be a 'suit' from the Swiss Embassy.

Doubt they would give the perp a name card same as the cops.

It`s where people catch communicable diseases.

No idea why The Nation foretells about a "transmittable disease" while rest of the world names what it is, HIV.

There is no HIV in the land of denial Thailand, same as there is no bird flu, or any of the other disease.

Could be tattooittus.

Why do these guys who obviously go illegal, in whatever way, get tats that make them so obvious and, stand out, clear and obvious identification.

As Charlie Brown was known to say 'the mind boggles.'

Yeah, me too, he's a really nasty looking piece of work isn't he.

Could just as easily be Hep-C, TB, Herpes  or any other of a long list of possibilities.
