What I don’t understand is how the FBI now uses its leverage with the British courts to pass on subpoenas in cases which it claims not to be involved in. Why didn’t the Italian and Swiss authorities get in touch with the British authorities directly? And where are these servers now? With the FBI, with the Met, or with the Swiss and the Italians?

Just because I sometimes criticise American policy doesn’t mean that I’m comfortable with international law enforcement cooperation.

I’m sceptical that there’s much point in having nation states – but given that they exist, surely one of their key advantages worth preserving is that one can escape oppressive laws elsewhere by moving to a more sensible country?

""Through a legal assistance treaty, the subpoena was on behalf of a third country."

The FBI spokesman said there was no US investigation but that the agency cooperated under the terms of an international treaty on law enforcement."

Done at the request of the Italians and the Swiss, apparently. Stupid unilateralist Americans, they honor their damn cooperation treaties. The nerve!
