Key legal question
Whether the spontaneous transmission of banking information to Brazil was unlawful under Swiss law and state-liability rules.
Extracted holding
The transmission was not unlawful; the information fell within Article 67a EIMP and did not constitute a prohibited disclosure of evidence.
Extracted reasoning
The table transmitted was treated as information, not a secret-domain means of proof. The transmission served to enable a possible formal request for mutual assistance and was proportionate.
