Can the Swiss Government still claim neutrality after this?

  You mean by executing a warrant they somehow entered into a military bloc? Must be strange membership rules.

    ha, was tounge in cheek, however, the post by PM CEO said the following on Twitter [0]: "In this particular case, the suspect unfortunately did break Swiss law, and there was simply no possibility to fight the decision made by the Swiss Federal Department of Justice." How does squating in France break swiss law? [0] - https://twitter.com/andyyen/status/1434665940696846340 https://twitter.com/andyyen/status/1434665940696846340

      "would the same thing be against the law if it happened here" is a somewhat common benchmark in treaties and laws about respecting and acting on foreign law enforcement requests, presumably that's what's meant. (When it comes to extraditions it's often called the "dual criminality" requirement, and can involve quite a bit of transfer to make things comparable. E.g. since Assange is charged with conspiring with Manning to steal US military data, the UK extradition ruling was considering if it would have been a crime in the UK if he had conspired with a UK service member to steal UK data)
