OSLO (Reuters) – Sweden has ordered additional investigations to be carried out of the damage done last month to the two Nord Stream pipelines, the prosecutor in charge of the case said in a statement on Friday.
Sweden and Denmark have both concluded that four leaks on Nord Stream 1 and 2 were caused by explosions, but have not said who might be responsible. World leaders have called it an act of sabotage.
“I’ve decided together with the security police to carry out a number of additional investigations at the scene of the crime,” lead prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist said.
“The Armed Forces have upon request decided to assist in the investigation,” he added.
