Key legal question
Whether the Kuwaiti prosecutor lacked competence to request mutual assistance after procedural changes in Kuwait
Extracted holding
The prosecutor's lack of competence was not manifest; conflicting foreign decisions did not bar assistance, especially as the competent body also endorsed the request.
Extracted reasoning
Swiss authorities do not examine foreign procedural-organizational law in depth; refusal is warranted only for manifest incompetence amounting to an abusive request. A later competent authority's endorsement can cure any defect under Art. 28(6) EIMP.
