Kernrechtsfrage

Extrahierter Entscheid
The requested transcripts had sufficient factual connection to the Italian investigation and were not a prohibited fishing expedition.
Extrahierte Begründung
The questions and answers concerned the organization, execution, participants, and contacts in the cigarette trade, which were materially relevant to the alleged mafia-linked smuggling and money-laundering scheme.
