Federal Act
on International Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters
(Mutual Assistance Act, IMAC)

Art. 21 Common provisions

1 The de­fend­ant may ap­point a leg­al ad­viser. If he chooses not to do so or is not in a po­s­i­tion to do so, a leg­al ad­viser shall be of­fi­cially ap­poin­ted if re­quired to safe­guard the in­terests of the de­fend­ant.

2 Oth­er per­sons who are af­fected by the mu­tu­al as­sist­ance meas­ures or who, as in­jured parties, are present at en­quir­ies, may, if the safe­guard­ing of their in­terests so re­quires, be as­sisted by a leg­al ad­viser while mu­tu­al as­sist­ance meas­ures are be­ing car­ried out and, provided the ob­ject of the in­vest­ig­a­tion is not pre­ju­diced, be rep­res­en­ted by him.

3 Per­sons who are the sub­ject of for­eign crim­in­al pro­ceed­ings may chal­lenge rul­ings only if they are per­son­ally and dir­ectly af­fected by a mu­tu­al as­sist­ance meas­ure and if they have an in­terest worthy of leg­al pro­tec­tion in the meas­ure be­ing re­voked or changed.64

4 Ap­peals filed against a de­cision made in ap­plic­a­tion of this Act shall not have a sus­pens­ive ef­fect. This rule does not ap­ply to ap­peals dir­ec­ted against a de­cision:

a.
grant­ing ex­tra­di­tion; or
b.
au­thor­ising the trans­mis­sion abroad of clas­si­fied in­form­a­tion or the hand­ing over of ob­jects or as­sets.65
