How far has it come in the investigation into who was behind the explosion of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipes? When is the investigation expected to be completed? Will the investigation, parts of it, become classified information?
Sincerely 🙂
Franco Baresi
Hey! Good question, so far not much has emerged from the investigation. But we’ll keep an eye on it and write about it in case we find out more!
Is it really a case if the police suspect attempted murder? Why suspect the woman instead of putting the weight and weight on what the police suspect: that a man pushed her to her death.
Redo do right… again…. ?
Angry!
See answer to the question below.
One person has been arrested and there are reports that the woman fell because she was pushed. It’s in the notice.
Fake news again? The woman was thrown from the balcony, she didn’t fall.. Distorting, keeping silent or lying as a journalist seems to be a code of honor at AB.. Ugh..
Eric T.
We still don’t know exactly what happened.
There are reports that she may have been pushed, and the police have arrested one person. It’s in the notice.
Whether it is so or not is not something we can confirm, the police investigation will have to show that.
All this misery. How are you coping?
