As the investigation is ongoing, any statements about the nature of the suspicions should not be considered the official position of the service. Upon completion, the findings will be submitted to Solberg, who is authorized to make decisions on the matter.

These meetings, according to the service, took place with Judge Solberg's approval and at his request.
