Kernrechtsfrage
Which authority is competent to decide on lifting seals for documents seized in a perquisition serving both mutual assistance and a Swiss federal criminal investigation?
Extrahierter Entscheid
The request had to be treated as falling under both proceedings, and competence lay with the Federal Criminal Court's Court of Claims, not the Federal Supreme Court.
Extrahierte Begründung
Because the search served intertwined mutual assistance and domestic criminal proceedings, economy and the need for a single judicial authority justified entrusting the matter to the court ordinarily competent for seal disputes under federal criminal procedure, while avoiding that the Federal Supreme Court perform execution tasks.
