Key legal question
Whether the mutual assistance request was sufficiently reasoned under Art. 28 EIMP
Extracted holding
The request met the statutory minimum: it identified the offenses, the persons targeted, and the purpose of obtaining banking documentation to trace illicit funds.
Extracted reasoning
The Court held that the requesting state need not provide a completed investigation; the facts need only be detailed enough to show the request is not inadmissible on its face.
