Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellants qualified as uninvolved third parties under the US mutual assistance treaty.
Decisão extraída
They did not qualify as uninvolved third parties because there was a direct factual connection between their accounts and the suspected offenses.
Fundamentação extraída
A real and direct link to the offense is sufficient to exclude third-party status; the accounts were tied to transactions involving persons implicated in the US investigation and to suspect funds.
