The Swedish investigation further fueled suspicions of Nord Stream sabotage
Suspicions of sabotage of the damaged Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea have increased, after the investigation of the indicated place in the Swedish exclusive economic zone, part of the world media reported, referring to the state police.
Swedish and Danish authorities are investigating leaks from Russian pipes at four sites discovered last week in the two countries' exclusive economic zones.
"There were detonations near "Northern Stream 1 and 2", inside the Swedish economic zone, the result is great damage to the gas pipelines", claims the Swedish police.
It is stated that some materials have been seized from the site and will be analyzed.
"Further investigation will show whether someone will be able to be suspected and then prosecuted for this crime," the statement said.
The spokesman of the Kremlin said today that he does not think that the investigation can be objective without the participation of Russia, since the country was not invited to participate.
Danish police declined to comment on the investigation in Denmark's exclusive economic zone.
