Questão jurídica principal
Whether the foreign request was sufficiently substantiated and not an impermissible fishing expedition.
Decisão extraída
The request met the formal requirements; the alleged absence of the contested testimony did not make the factual account manifestly wrong, and the suspicion was sufficiently made plausible.
Fundamentação extraída
In mutual assistance, the requested state relies on the facts set out in the request and annexes unless they are manifestly erroneous, incomplete, or contradictory; the requesting state need not prove the offence, only make its suspicions plausible.
