Dear suspect, your phone is being bugged November 2 2002 Berlin: German police were forced to admit that dozens of criminal suspects had learnt their phones were being tapped when the evidence showed up on their monthly phone bill. A technical problem led to several suspects receiving September phone bills with charges for a connection to an unknown voice-mail number. When they called the number they were told that they did not have access to the voice mailbox. This was because police were using the mailbox to record their phone conversations. "The technical fault arose when we were installing new software," a spokesman for the mobile phone company O2 said, adding that "only a few single cases" were involved. The federal crime office admitted a "double-digit" number of suspects had been affected. German authorities may use wiretapping only in serious cases such as murder, money laundering, kidnapping or treason. Telecommunications authorities said nearly 20,000 lines were being tapped, and that the number had risen dramatically since the attacks in the United States last year.
