Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the MFA decisions had to be notified to the bank although the account holders lived abroad and the account was closed.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The entry and closure decisions had to be notified to the bank as holder of the documents, so it could decide whether to invoke its rights or inform the account holder.
Extrahierte Begründung
Articles 80m and 80n EIMP require notification to the document holder. The fact that the documents were already in a domestic criminal file and the account was closed does not eliminate the need for notification, because the mutual assistance procedure is separate and may affect different rights. The bank must be able to react before transmission abroad.
