This is a very common miss-understanding about the Swiss, it was caused by a simple spelling error.
What was actually meant was the Swiss are "nuetered".

Glad to clear that up.

...The military has launched a separate investigation into the incident, suggesting Rudolf may have been hired by someone opposed to the Sept 19 coup.

"The suspect must have been hired by someone so I have ordered soldiers to investigate the incident and bring the mastermind of this crime to justice,'' said Saprang Kanlayanamitr, a member of the Council for National Security.



Now who might that "mastermind" be?

Report from Reuters dated Tuesday 3 March 2007 :-

Swiss convicted of lese majeste, faces Thai jail
=================================

CHIANG MAI (Reuters) - A Swiss man facing 75 years in a Thai jail for defacing images of revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej was convicted on Monday on charges of lese majeste and damaging property.

Oliver Rudolf Jufer, 57, reversed his earlier plea and pleaded guilty to five acts of lese majeste at a hearing held behind closed doors to minimise the disrespect to King Bhumibol, whom many Thais regard as semi-divine.

Sentencing was set for March 29.

Jufer was arrested in December in the northern city of Chiang Mai after black paint was sprayed on several portraits of the 79-year-old king, the world's longest reigning monarch who marked 60 years on the throne last June.

"Every Thai constitution says the king is worshipped. No one can offend him," Public Prosecutor Bhanu Kwanyuen told reporters outside the Chiang Mai Provincial Court.

"If this happened in England, it would not be this serious. But in Thailand, the King is worshipped and revered. Whatever the offence against him, Thais cannot accept it," he said.

Lese majeste carries a penalty of three to 15 years in jail in Thailand, one of the few countries that prosecutes strictly anything deemed to demean the royal family.

SHACKLES

Jufer, wearing orange-brown prison clothes with iron shackles on his ankles and wrists, said nothing to reporters.

His guilty plea could help reduce the sentence, but he would almost certainly spend time in jail, his lawyer Komkrit Kunyodying said.

"Personally, I don't think he will get a suspended sentence," he told reporters.

The case has received almost no coverage in the Thai press and Monday's hearing was covered mainly by reporters from foreign newspapers and news agencies, who were barred from the hearing.

Police reports said Jufer was drunk when the portraits were defaced on Dec. 5, the King's birthday and a national holiday.

But Bhanu declined to discuss details of the case and asked the court for a closed hearing.

"The act was an offence to the King which should not be disclosed to those who were not involved. It benefits no one," he told reporters.

King Bhumibol is widely revered in Thailand for his projects in aid of the rural poor and the environment. He is also a cornerstone of stability in times of crisis.

For most Thais, only the most delicate portrayal of the royal family is acceptable and foreigners are expected to show similar respect.

Other foreigners have run afoul of the law occasionally, but jail terms are rare.

A French businessman was arrested in 1994 for insulting the monarchy during a Thai Airways flight from London with two members of the royal family on board. He was later acquitted.
