Key legal question
Whether the bank documents were relevant and potentially useful for the Italian investigation
Extracted holding
Yes. The records could help reconstruct money flows and identify other involved persons; their potential utility was sufficient.
Extracted reasoning
Under mutual assistance, the requested state may refuse only if the request is abusive or the relevance is manifestly absent. The court found a direct objective link between the documents and the suspected offences, and it would not assess the final evidentiary value itself.
