Here is what is written in the police report, and it doesn't look good for Protonmail: https://twitter.com/OnEstLaTech/status/1434576598418796549/photo/3 https://twitter.com/OnEstLaTech/status/1434576598418796549/p... It's in french but here is a summary: Law enforcement contacted Protonmail directly and the company told them to use the "Europol channel", which law enforcement did. Protonmail then provided the date when the account was created, the IP address (Not clear if it is the one when it was created or last login) and the "device", I suppose they are talking about the user agents. Please keep in mind that companies can charge processing fees on law enforcement requests. I would really like to know if ProtonMail is earning money on this.

And said Europol channel probably ended up landing with a police department in Swítzerland. I think I would be happier with a "no, we cannot comply with your request" rather than the "no, we cannot comploy with your request, go to this other window..." but I wouldn't be surprised if the option they took is the legally safer route.
