The letter mentions the client's name as Mr. Niemela, upon some Googling you can see that he sued Google and some other companies to remove his online presence and some news about him. So it looks like it's just usual practice for him & his law firm.

easyDNS here.

I don't think that this is the same Niemela. The material covered in this issue is just a plain vanilla image, not of a person.

By redacted, I assume you're referring to the EU right to be forgotten? Surely that's not so broad as to forbid the mention of information suppressed by it? The BBC even publishes lists of articles removed from Google via that right: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-29658085

I meant the letter published on the article link shows the client's name, without any redaction even thou some other info is redacted. That's why I assumed it's safe to mention client's name here.
