Switzerland Dumps Its Garbage

A few days ago in the Swiss canton of Neuchatel, a 25-year-old Algerian asylum-seeker was arrested by police outside a grammar school where he was acting in a threatening manner and shouting, "Allahu Akhbar". Swiss authorities decided that there was no information linking him to terrorist organizations.

So, what to do with this young man?

Easy. Since he had originally applied for asylum in Germany, it was decided to deport him back to Germany. Where he will go from there is anybody's guess. Chances are Algeria won't take him back. So now he is the Germans' problem.

The below article from the French-language Swiss daily, Le Temps, is translated by Fousesquawk.

The threatening individual at Cortaillod will be expelled from Switzerland

The man who caused panic in a grammar school will be sent back out of the country. The terrorist (theory) is definitely ruled out.

The threatening man arrested 8 December near a school in Cortaillod (NE-Neuchatel) will be sent out of Switzerland. The 25-year-old Algerian will be escorted to the German border, the location of his initial asylum request. He will be handed over to the authorities of that country who will take charge of him. The Neuchatel Public Prosecutor's (Office)  announced on Friday they have opened a criminal investigation for threats against the population. It will next issue a ruling after taking into consideration both the nature of the facts as well as the personal situation of the accused.

The young man, who had behaved in a threatening verbal manner, had filed his first asylum request in Germany and then transited several European countries under different identities. "As of today, no connection to terrorism has been established, and the subject is not the object of any alerts within the European Union in this context," one can read in the statement of the police and the Neuchatel Public Prosecutor's Office.

"The judicial record of the accused concerns small and mid-size criminality. The behavioral problems of this individual, notably observed by the personnel of the Boudry Reception Center upon his arrival have been confirmed by a medical diagnosis," the police and Public Prosecutor's Office added. The applicant had arrived in the canton of Neuchatel only a few days before the incident. 

Administrative detention

"After being medically stabilized in a secure environment, the subject was transferred today in a state of administrative detention outside the canton of Neuchatel with a view to his removal from our country," the police and Public Prosecutor's Office stated.

The "Amok" Protocol (prevention of attacks in schools) had been triggered after the individual had shouted, "Allahu Akhbar" in a threatening manner. "The teachers of the school reacted in an optimal manner thus protecting the children from the confrontation with this individual, who did not penetrate the school establishment and who was quickly intercepted by police," according to elements of the statement.
