MLAT - Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty.
These treaties have been around since the 80's, though I doubt they have been abused this way before.
Not valid unless it was a crime in the country the request is filed to. There's no "they asked so we had to"
The claim is terrorism and violent extremism, which would be a crime that meets criteria. And again:
Yeah so they need to present some basic evidence, not just an accusation
I'm not sure why you think I would know what evidence they were presented with just because I told you what they used.
I don't understand why people on the Internet will argue with someone answering questions about legal stuff as if the answerer is supporting that position or something
