About Arne Sejr
- Arne Sejr (Danish pronunciation: ['sa????]; 31 January 1922 – July 1998) was a member of the resistance and became involved in anti-communist activities after the War. One of these activities was the set-up of a private intelligence organization, "The Firm" (Firmaet), in 1948, involved in PSYOPS against communist targets.
- One of these targets was the eavesdropping of leaders within the Danmarks Kommunistiske Parti (DKP).
- The firm managed to bug the apartment of communist vice-chairman Alfred Jensen for several years from the apartment below.
- Sejr's organization also produced "black letters," to stir up paranoia in the party.
- The DKP was further damaged by the defection of Aksel Larsen, who then formed his own political party in 1959, the Socialistisk Folkeparti (SF).
- Larsen, who had become disillusioned with communism at that time, co-engineered his defection with the Central Intelligence Agency, with contacts established by a member of The Firm, which already enjoyed a working relationship with the CIA.
- Although The Firm was disbanded in 1963, its eavesdropping program was revealed at the end of 1975, by former prime minister Jens Otto Krag.
