Liechtenstein's opposition party, the Patriotic Union, has criticised a law enforcement treaty signed by Head of Government, Otmar Hasler and US Ambassador, Mercer Reynolds last year.
According to reports in the national media, the party took issue with the lack of clarification in the treaty over exactly when the principle of double criminality is applicable, and for what tax offences mutual judicial assistance should be granted by either country. Vice Parliamentary President, Peter Wolff also reportedly slammed the inclusion of certain retroactive provisions in the agreement.
Prior to the signing of the bilateral treaty, mutual legal assistance between the two countries had consisted of an observance of mutuality, within the context of the recognised principles of international law.
