Question juridique clé
Whether the German request showed a sufficient suspicion of money laundering despite not naming the predicate offence.
Solution extraite
Yes. In money-laundering assistance, the request need not identify the predicate offence if it describes suspicious financial transactions and circumstances suggesting concealment.
Motifs extraits
The Court found a large purchase amount, use of an offshore shell company, indirect payment routing through Zurich, and absence of any plausible explanation of lawful origin. These elements together created a sufficient suspicion.
