Key legal question
Whether translation errors in the MLA request required a new translation or invalidated assistance
Extracted holding
No. A French translation was not mandatory, and errors in the voluntary translation did not affect the admissibility of assistance.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 28(5) EIMP, requests may be filed in an official Swiss language; the French translation was provided only for convenience. Double criminality is assessed on the facts, not the foreign legal labels.
