As I tried to point out before, this is about equivalent to a speeding ticket with a company car from the legal side.
If the outfit was in Germany they would comply with that request or face significant backlash by the authorities, culminating in troubles with their AOC.
How that can be enforced within the EU or internationally is intresting - please keep us updated.
Generally the persecution pressure has increased drastically in the last years. I blame mode S. In former times they would have to send the men in blue to the airfield to discover possible perpetrators from the log books. Today ATC is required to report every so slight deviation by compliance rules - and it requires zero effort to identify the violating aircraft.
