(ANSA-AFP) - COPENHAGEN, FEB 26 - Danish police said Monday
that they were closing their investigation into the 2022
sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines linking Russia and
Germany. "Based on the investigation, the authorities can
conclude that the sabotage of the pipelines was intentional,"
Copenhagen police said in a statement. "At the same time, it is
also assessed that there is not the necessary basis for pursuing
a criminal case in Denmark," it said. Neighbouring Sweden closed
its investigation in early February citing a lack of
jurisdiction, meaning only Germany now has an ongoing
investigation into the leaks. Four large gas leaks were
discovered on Nord Stream's two pipelines off the Danish island
of Bornholm, with seismic institutes recording two underwater
explosions just before. (ANSA-AFP).
