He wasn't given a criminal record. At least not in the sense of the implications of having a criminal record in the UK. He might have been black, we don't know. Plenty of foreigners live in that village.

It's in the Daily Mail so it must be entirely true

An eight-year-old boy has been given a criminal record and had a police mugshot taken after he tried to pay with a toy banknote at a Swiss village shop.
Newspapers suggested the shop and the police were overzealous in the case where the boy's name will be on police records until May 2032.
The unnamed boy, from Dietgen in northern Switzerland, was not charged with any offence.
