Interesting. Apparently, both #Hetzner's and #Linode's German datacenters were used to #MitM connections to jabber.ru servers hosted there. There's a detailed postmortem here:

I'd take these allegations with a grain of salt. But I must say that MitM'ing with a #LetsEncrypt certificate and then forgetting to renew it, leading to discovery, sounds like the most German law enforcement thing ever.

A very good (but also pretty long) post on how this attack could have possibly been detected and probably been mitigated:
