Their website advertise they are Swiss company and "your data is protected by strict Swiss privacy laws and Swiss neutrality".

With that statement, I don't expect they have to compliant with FBI or US laws.. If that's Swiss court, it's fair game... but no way for FBI.

The FBI can request assistance from a Swiss court and the Swiss government may assist in some cases, and that's what happened here. That being said, even in such cases, emails cannot be decrypted, which was proven again in this case.
