Swedish prosecutors close their investigation into sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in September 2022 in the Baltic Sea. “The conclusion of the investigation is that it is not within the jurisdiction of Swedish jurisdiction and that the investigation must therefore be closed,” said prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist in a statement.
Four huge gas leaks preceded by underwater explosions occurred on September 26, 2022 a few hours apart on Nord Stream 1 and 2. The gas leaks occurred in international waters, off the Danish island of Bornholm and the coast of southern Sweden.
