Key legal question
Whether the Belarusian request for mutual assistance was sufficiently motivated and showed punishable conduct under Swiss law.
Extracted holding
Yes. The request identified the suspects, the method, the time period, and the alleged diversion of sales proceeds with sufficient precision to support dual criminality and exclude obvious impediments.
Extracted reasoning
Swiss authorities review only the facts as presented and do not require a complete account. The description allowed the conduct to be characterized prima facie as breach of trust or abuse of authority plus money laundering; the state-owned nature of the enterprise was not contradicted by the file.
