Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the foreign request met the formal requirements for mutual legal assistance and justified transmission of the hearing materials.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The request sufficiently described the facts and suspicions; Swiss review does not require proof of the offences, only a sufficient factual basis and concrete usefulness of the evidence.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the applicable convention and AIMP, the requesting state need only set out the object, purpose, legal qualification and essential facts. The merits belong to the foreign court, and the appellant's own involvement and the parallel Swiss investigation confirmed the relevance of the evidence.
