Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal investigating judge could transmit the request for delegation directly to France without Federal Office approval.
Solution extraite
No. The Federal Office's approval was required for the delegation request.
Motifs extraits
Art. 30 para. 2 EIMP requires the Federal Office to submit requests for delegation of criminal prosecution abroad; the bilateral treaty framework did not exclude this requirement in a way that bound Swiss authorities to direct transmission.
