We have managed to identify two suspects. In my opinion, it is a success that was not necessarily expected at the beginning, he tells the newspaper Der Spiegel according to several media.
It still remains, among other things, to identify others involved and find out the motive behind the incident.
It has previously been reported that there were suspects who are Ukrainian nationals.
When asked about possible Ukrainian involvement, Rommel says that “regardless of any political affiliation” it has been an attack on Germany’s energy supply.
It was at the end of September 2022 that four leaks on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines – which run from Russia to Germany along the bottom of the Baltic Sea – were discovered. Seismic measurements showed that explosions had taken place in the sea before the leaks were found, and later the Swedish prosecutor confirmed that the lines had been deliberately detonated.
The investigation into explosions has been closed in both Sweden and Denmark, but the German investigation is still ongoing.
