Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Japanese request for mutual legal assistance was sufficiently reasoned under Art. 28 EIMP
Decisione estratta
Yes. The request described the offences, suspects, purpose, and the need to trace financial flows well enough to exclude manifest inadmissibility.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the level of detail required by Art. 28 EIMP is not excessive because the foreign investigation is ongoing. The request identified the persons investigated, the offences, and the sought evidence, and it explained that the bank documentation was needed to trace illicit proceeds.
