Doesn't sound like they actually took much then. If DoubleVPN accepted anonymous payment methods, the personal information they have is probably fake. The logs are a bit concerning, but from the wording it doesn't sound like IP were logged, if it's only usage statistics, there's not really anything EuroPol can do with it, except for maybe track the people who happens to be connected at the time of the server seizure.

maybe logs are just a bluff from EuroPol to freak people out.

It looks that way. We'll just have to see if any court cases cite evidence from this raid. The Pure VPN logging scandal was revealed when a court case cited how the FBI tracked down the defendant.

In what nation was DoubleVPN registered? If it’s a business from any of the Nine Eyes nations, they were required by law to have all data recorded from all use by all customers, forever.
