Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Milan prosecutor lacked competence so that Switzerland had to refuse assistance.
Decisione estratta
Swiss authorities generally do not examine the foreign prosecutor’s procedural competence absent manifest abuse; no such obvious defect was shown.
Motivazione estratta
Reviewing foreign territorial competence would amount to a full examination of foreign procedure. The alleged lack of competence was not manifest and did not make the request abusive.
