The plan was to have a national Swedish newspaper receive an anonymous telephone tip-off. As an alternative, the information would go directly to one of the special tip-off phones made available by the police. The content would be along the lines that the caller ‘knew that the ELP had committed the crime’. In addition, he or she had ‘witnessed hectic activity in the ELP headquarters in the night’. Nothing was really true, but it sounded well-informed and credible.”
