Art. 67a Bundesgesetz vom 20. März 1981 über internationale Rechtshilfe in Strafsachen (IRSG) - Unaufgeforderte Übermittlung von Beweismitteln und Informationen
IRSG; Dritter Teil: Andere Rechtshilfe; 1. Kapitel: Voraussetzungen
Art. 67a IRSG · Unaufgeforderte Übermittlung von Beweismitteln und Informationen
Eine Strafverfolgungsbehörde kann Beweismittel, die sie für ihre eigene Strafuntersuchung erhoben hat, unaufgefordert an eine ausländische Strafverfolgungsbehörde übermitteln, wenn diese Übermittlung aus ihrer Sicht geeignet ist: a. ein Strafverfahren einzuleiten; oder b. eine hängige Strafuntersuchung zu erleichtern.
Die Übermittlung nach Absatz 1 hat keine Einwirkung auf das in der Schweiz hängige Strafverfahren.
Die Übermittlung von Beweismitteln an einen Staat, mit dem keine staatsvertragliche Vereinbarung besteht, bedarf der Zustimmung des BJ.
Die Absätze 1 und 2 gelten nicht für Beweismittel, die den Geheimbereich betreffen.
Informationen, die den Geheimbereich betreffen, können übermittelt werden, wenn sie geeignet sind, dem ausländischen Staat zu ermöglichen, ein Rechtshilfeersuchen an die Schweiz zu stellen.
Jede unaufgeforderte Übermittlung ist in einem Protokoll festzuhalten.
