Copenhagen police said on Monday that there are insufficient grounds to initiate criminal proceedings in Denmark regarding the explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines. It was therefore decided to complete the joint investigation with the Danish secret service PET.
In doing so, the Danish researchers followed the path of their Swedish colleagues, who also stopped their investigation into the case almost three weeks ago.
On September 26, 2022, several explosions were recorded near the Danish Baltic Sea island of Bornholm and a little later four leaks were discovered in three of the four Nord Stream 1 and 2 lines. All spills occurred in international waters, two each in the exclusive economic zones of Sweden and Denmark. Subsequently, investigations were started in the two Scandinavian countries and in Germany.
The responsible Swedish public prosecutor, Mats Ljungqvist, had already determined in November 2022 that the leaks were the result of serious sabotage. Copenhagen police also said on Monday that authorities had concluded during the complex and extensive investigation that there had been deliberate sabotage of the pipelines. However, there are insufficient grounds for criminal proceedings in Denmark.
It is still unclear who is responsible for the sabotage of Nord Stream.
