Questão jurídica principal
Whether the bank documents relating to account 'V.' had to be transmitted to Germany
Decisão extraída
The records were potentially relevant to the German investigation and their disclosure was proportionate.
Fundamentação extraída
Bank records may be transmitted if they can possibly relate to the alleged offences and help clarify the perpetrators' motives or sentencing factors; the account was linked to the financing and repayment structure and could show whether the bank was already secured and who benefited.
