Sweden Closes Nord Stream Investigation, Hands It Off to Germany
Swedish officials investigating the Sept. 2022 explosion of the Nord Stream pipelines say they are closing down their probe and handing it off to their German counterparts, offering no new insight into “who done it.”
Swedish public prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist said in a statement Wednesday (Feb 7) that “the investigation has been systematic and thorough,” but, “against the background of the situation we now have, we can state that Swedish jurisdiction does not apply.”
Ljungqvist added that “the German investigation continues and due to the secrecy that prevails in international legal cooperation, I cannot comment further on the cooperation that has taken place.”
“I will also not be able to comment anything further on the conclusions of the Swedish investigation or comment on any suspected persons in the Swedish investigation,” Ljungqvist said.
