Surveillance
In a 1994 interview with VG, Syse told how he "discovered evidence of eavesdropping on his home phone at the end of his prime ministerial term. ... People who called him experienced having the last part of the call played back after Syse had hung up...Syse has never wanted to make a fuss of the experiences he had with his private phone as prime minister. But privately, Syse has expressed fear that he was bugged. The strange phone experiences upset both co-workers, party members and friends. Besides the fact that parts of the phone calls were replayed to people on the other end of the line, there were noises and abnormal sounds in Syse's private phone. Syse's private phone behaved so strangely that Syse eventually changed both the phone and the phone number." The story was dismissed to the newspaper by "persons with expertise in intelligence and surveillance issues".[3]
However, the technical limitations of room surveillance in the era meant that there was a risk of discovery, by the conservation being played back for technical reasons.[4] The eavesdroppers were likely the deep state Alfa or the Norwegian Intelligence Service.
