'January 2019 – A data request from a foreign country was approved by the Swiss court system. However, as we do not have any customer IP information, we could not provide the requested information and this was explained to the requesting party.'

I'm not terribly well-versed in the international (or Swiss) legal system but are portions of that request public record, or would it be possible to put portions of it online, verbatim?

It would really strengthen the case to your customers because whilst claiming you had a request when you didn't isn't illegal, falsifying court documents definitely is.

No public indictment was issued because in this case the accused could not be charged since they couldn't be identified. Generally there are only documents if police decide to move forward with a prosecution, which is unlikely since we do not have logs that can identify users.
