Key legal question
Whether the Italian request established extraditable conduct and double criminality for alleged receiving of stolen cultural property and participation in a criminal association.
Extracted holding
The request did not provide sufficient indications that the appellant’s conduct would meet the Swiss offence of receiving stolen goods or participation in such conduct; double criminality was not established.
Extracted reasoning
The request lacked concrete details about the specific objects, their provenance, the appellant’s knowledge, and a proven predicate property offence under Swiss law. The facts did not sufficiently show that the objects were Italian property or that they were unlawfully appropriated.
