IRSG; Dritter Teil: Andere Rechtshilfe; 1. Kapitel: Voraussetzungen
Art. 67 IRSG · Grundsatz der Spezialität
Die durch Rechtshilfe erhaltenen Auskünfte und Schriftstücke dürfen im ersuchenden Staat in Verfahren wegen Taten, bei denen Rechtshilfe nicht zulässig ist, weder für Ermittlungen benützt noch als Beweismittel verwendet werden.
Eine weitere Verwendung bedarf der Zustimmung des BJ. Diese ist nicht nötig: a. wenn die Tat, auf die sich das Ersuchen bezieht, einen anderen Straftatbestand darstellt, für den Rechtshilfe zulässig wäre; oder b. wenn sich das ausländische Strafverfahren gegen andere Personen richtet, die an der strafbaren Handlung teilgenommen haben.
Die Anwesenheit bei den Rechtshilfehandlungen und die Akteneinsicht werden unter den gleichen Bedingungen bewilligt (Art. 65 a Abs. 1).
