The prosecutor leading the investigation, Mats Ljungqvist, does not say whether he will end the investigation or press charges.
Nord The prosecutor leading the investigation into the explosions of the Stream gas pipeline in Sweden Mats Ljungqvist promises a decision on the one-year and four-month-long investigation during the week that has just begun. Ljungqvist told a Swedish newspaper about it on Monday For Expressen.
Ljungqvist does not answer Expressen's question whether the investigation will be stopped, whether charges will be brought or whether someone will be arrested.
“That's exactly what my decision is about, but I can't predict it,” says Ljungqvist.
Sweden has done research cooperation on blowing up gas pipelines with Germany and Denmark. However, the Swedish prosecutor does not comment a word on whether similar decisions are coming at the same time from, for example, Germany.
Swedish research the suspected crime was aggravated vandalism. Ljungqvist said last April, that “even if the perpetrator could not be found, all the evidence points to a state actor”.
German investigations have, however, highlighted a sailing boat called Andromeda, which would have transported the explosives to the sea and which would have had an “Eastern European”, possibly Ukrainian, crew.
According to Expressen, Andromeda would have been seen in the port of Sandhamn in Karlskrona on the southern coast of Sweden at the time of the explosions. The port is located approximately one hundred kilometers north of the explosion areas.
The Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines transporting gas from Russia to Germany were damaged in explosions in Bornholm waters on September 26, 2022.
