Key legal question
Whether the foreign mutual assistance request met the formal requirements and was not a fishing expedition.
Extracted holding
Yes. The request sufficiently described the object, grounds and essential facts, and the bank account and transfer were specifically identified; it was not an indiscriminate search for evidence.
Extracted reasoning
The requesting state need not prove the offense, only set out enough facts to distinguish the request from a forbidden evidentiary fishing expedition. The targeted account, date and amount created a sufficient link to the foreign case.
