Key legal question
Whether the German request satisfied the dual-criminality requirement for coercive measures
Extracted holding
Yes. The alleged conduct, if committed in Switzerland, would at least prima facie fall under the offence of unlawful promotion of the development of nuclear weapons.
Extracted reasoning
The request described conduct that corresponds to Swiss criminal provisions on the illegal development or promotion of nuclear weapons, so coercive assistance was permissible under the treaty and IRSG.
