Nord Stream sabotage: Sweden apparently wants to stop the investigation – German investigators could benefit. The final decision is expected on Wednesday (October 7) The decision will only affect the Swedish investigation - so the German proceedings will continue.
Three of the four strands of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines were severely damaged by multiple underwater explosions on September 26, 2022. The pipelines, more than 1,200 kilometers long, were intended to transport natural gas from Russia directly to Germany. Experts warned that this would make Germany even more dependent on gas supplies from the Kremlin.
