Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the mutual legal assistance request was sufficiently motivated and supported double criminality.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The request described a money-laundering suspicion in enough detail, and the alleged conduct would also amount to money laundering under Swiss law.
Motivazione estratta
Under the CEEJ and the CBl, the request need only specify the laundering offence, not the prior predicate offence. The foreign authority need not yet know the underlying criminal activity if the request is based on suspicious transactions; the described facts justified suspicion.
