The Public Prosecution Service is trying to determine whether there are suspicions against certain persons, so that they can be prosecuted
Swedish authorities announced on Friday that the investigation into leaks discovered in September in the Nord Stream had made it possible to find “traces of explosives”, confirming the claim that the gas pipeline was the subject of “flagrant sabotage”.
The prosecutor investigating the incident, Mats Ljungqvist, explained in a statement published by his office that “the analyzes carried out show traces of explosives in several of the non-indigenous objects found”. “Advanced analysis continues to reach more definitive conclusions about the incident,” he added.
“The cooperation with the authorities in Sweden and other countries has worked very well. I look forward to the next work in the context of preliminary research and ongoing collaborations, it is important that we can work in peace,” emphasized Ljungqvist.
The Swedish security service indicated on October 6 that an investigation had shown that the damage was caused by “explosions” and emphasized that this “reinforces suspicions of serious sabotage”. For example, he explained that the aim is to determine whether there are suspicions against specific people so that they can be prosecuted and emphasized that what happened is “very serious”.
Nord Stream’s operating company, Nord Stream AG, indicated after the events of September that the damage to three of the pipelines is “unprecedented”, following a gas leak in one of the parts of Nord Stream 2 and a loss of pressure in Nordstroom 1 .
Authorities in Germany, Denmark and Sweden have excluded Russia from investigating what happened, prompting a formal protest from Moscow, which has warned it will not recognize the outcome of reports it did not participate in.
