Key legal question
Whether the mutual legal assistance request sufficiently described the alleged offence and facts under the applicable treaty and Swiss law.
Extracted holding
The request, including supplements and annexes, met the treaty requirements for a brief factual account and specification of the offence; the cantonal decision was sufficiently reasoned under constitutional standards.
Extracted reasoning
For assistance between Germany and Switzerland, the European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters applies first. Article 14(2) ECHRML requires only a short statement of facts. The level of reasoning in the closing order is governed by constitutional minimums, which were met.
