Key legal question
Whether the absence of a translation of the mutual assistance request required annulment or suspension.
Extracted holding
No. In the circumstances, the untranslated short request did not prevent proper handling or impair the appellant's defense rights, so neither annulment nor suspension was warranted.
Extracted reasoning
The request was brief and understandable; the authorities and counsel could deal with it; no party showed any misunderstanding. Using the mandatory translation rule would unjustifiably undermine the principle of expedition.
