@404mediaco Here's the latest response from @protonprivacy as far as I can see, which includes a bit more detail than this just being a run-off-the-mill MLAT

"This wasn't a routine investigation. Swiss authorities determined that the legal threshold was met because a law enforcement officer was shot, and explosive devices were found during a protest in 2024. Switzerland has one of the strongest legal frameworks for privacy in the world, and its standard for granting international legal assistance is exceptionally high. This case met that standard. "
