Questione giuridica chiave
Which authority is competent to decide on lifting seals for documents seized both for mutual assistance and for a federal criminal investigation?
Decisione estratta
The request had to be transmitted to the Criminal Appeals Chamber of the Federal Criminal Court as the competent authority.
Motivazione estratta
Because the seizure served both the foreign mutual assistance request and the parallel Swiss federal criminal investigation, a single judicial authority should decide. The conditions for lifting seals derive from federal criminal procedure via Art. 69 PPF and Art. 9 EIMP, and the Criminal Appeals Chamber is generally competent under Art. 28 al. 1 let. b LTPF.
