Communist secret service spied on Václav Klaus

Documents in Slovakia’s National Memory Institute suggest that incumbent president Václav Klaus was closely monitored by the communist secret police in the years leading up to the fall of communism in 1989. The communist secret police repeatedly searched his office, bugged his calls at work and at home, read his mail and even shadowed his wife Lívia. Thanks to Slovakia’s National Memory Institute Czech historians have now discovered the existence of a second file on Václav Klaus code-named Warrior. The file was shredded three weeks after the fall of the communist regime but there are references to it in existing Slovak documents.
