Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the US request satisfied the requirements of the treaty and Swiss law as to factual description and suspicion.
Decisione estratta
The request was sufficiently concrete; it described the alleged conduct, the petitioner's role, and the suspected criminal proceeds well enough to permit review.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the authorities may rely on the requesting state's factual narrative unless it contains obvious errors, gaps, or contradictions. The request went beyond a mere description of office held and alleged an active role in setting targets, concealing manipulation, and signing the false reports.
