The cantonal or federal mutual assistance authority may for a specific purpose and in consultation with the competent foreign judicial authority appoint a joint investigation team (JIT) to conduct or support the conduct of a criminal investigation in a state participating in the JIT.
A JIT may in particular be appointed in a difficult or complex criminal investigation that involves one or more other states and which requires considerable resources as well as coordinated and concerted action.
It may only be appointed if a request for mutual assistance has been submitted by a judicial authority.
The JIT must be appointed for a limited duration. The appointment may be extended as required.
The competent authority shall designate the persons responsible and the members of the JIT for its state. The JIT may call on the services of experts and auxiliary personnel as required.
