Questão jurídica principal
Whether the taking and surrender of writing samples from typewriters and PC printers was permissible under the mutual legal assistance request.
Decisão extraída
The measure was impermissible because it was not requested in the mutual legal assistance application and thus was not covered by the request or the cantonal orders.
Fundamentação extraída
The measure was effectively comparable to seizure and could in principle be ordered as such, but here only comparison of writing samples was sought. The authorities may not order coercive measures beyond the request; doing so violates the prohibition of excess and the Federal Act on International Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters.
