Key legal question
Whether the mutual assistance request was sufficiently clear and complete to be admissible.
Extracted holding
The request, though not well drafted, sufficiently set out the facts and legal basis to show it was not inadmissible; no supplementation was required.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that mutual assistance requests need only contain enough information to verify admissibility. The factual description allowed the authorities to understand the alleged sham transaction and the objects of the request.
