Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Italian request satisfied the formal requirements for mutual legal assistance and allowed transmission of the bank records.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The request and supplement described the offences, the involved entities, the periods, places and financial flows sufficiently to permit the requested assistance.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that Art. 14 CEAG, Art. 28 AIMP and Art. 10 OAIMP must be interpreted according to their purpose: to let the requested State assess the conditions for assistance. The request was detailed enough despite the complexity of the financial scheme.
