It could be that it wasn't enough of a priority for the Swiss police to watch his villa for months on end until he arrived, but if they knew he was going to be in a particular place at a particular time and were pressured to get him by the Americans, that was enough to make them pick him up.
He hadn't gone to Switzerland since 2005 (the year the California prosecutor place the request)? To be honest, I only know that he had a villa in Switzerland.
Reading here and there the prosecutor knew he was going to Switzerland to receive the award and notified the Swiss.

The incident is more than 30 years old and the victim would love to skip the attention. I don't condone in any way Mr. Polansky's actions but I have the feeling that the whole thing is a bit out of proportion all around. Now the extradition case will drag for months and the victim has become the victim (of the media attention, reliving the incident, etc) again.

Sony are generally well regarded, as well.My personal machine is a 4-year-old Toshiba Satellite running Windows XP that was originally my father's work machine. It's been generally good, except for a few things:

Elgin---EL gin (as in the alcohol, with a j sound)?? No, El GIN with a G sound.
Quote from: Swatopluk on January 25, 2009, 09:40:14 AMA 323 is a bourgeois symbol of decadence? Are we talking about the base model or the GTX version?
Which craft is incompatible?Stalin was known for his broom (it was an iron one though).
And Marxist Anarchists would more likely set fire to the car, not trying to steal that bourgeois symbol of decadence.
Quote from: anthrobabe on January 27, 2009, 07:11:59 AMOh... one that used to drive me bonkers: there's a town near Woodstock, Ontario, named "Delhi"... spelled just like the Indian city.
