Hi, Most of the people that get raided are exit node operators. So, not a big problem for you to run a non-exit relay since you're not the one who connecting with other people outside the Tor network and it won't trace back to you. It's even safer if you run a bridge relay. By the way, what was the reason or issue given by police when the non-exit relay operator got contacted? And is that person also in Switzerland?
