Finnish police covertly recorded multiple phone calls between the Eagle S captain and the shipping company Caravella when the vessel had been intercepted after cutting multiple undersea cables in December 2024.

The company representative also requests that the conversation must remain between "the two of us". Well, that didn't quite work out as planned. Yle News coverage:
