Key legal question
Whether the French mutual legal assistance request was sufficiently motivated under the applicable conventions and Swiss law.
Extracted holding
No. The request did not describe with sufficient precision the offences allegedly committed by A. or his concrete involvement; it amounted to an indeterminate search for evidence.
Extracted reasoning
The request identified general suspicions concerning PSG-related abuses of corporate assets, but failed to state the nature of the transactions involving A. or how the club was harmed. Mere reference to income, a foreign company and an account did not satisfy the required factual basis.
