Decisione estratta
The request contained enough information about the suspected VAT carousel fraud and the persons involved to justify assistance.
Motivazione estratta
Under the treaty and domestic law, the request need only enable verification of dual criminality, non-fiscal character, and proportionality. Although not highly detailed, the request described a complex fraudulent scheme using numerous companies and fictitious invoices sufficiently.
