Two years ago, the Danish government declined to assist German police in conducting interviews as part of the investigation into the explosions at the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
Sea-news.az reports citing the indictment by the German prosecutor’s office, that this information was broadcast by the Danmarks Radio (DR) public broadcaster.
According to the reports, Danish officials refused to investigate the matter on the islands of Bornholm and the archipelago of Christiansø due to a perceived potential threat to state interests and security.
Based on the indictment, the Danish state prosecutor’s decision to refuse cooperation dates back to February 14, 2024. DR requested permission from the kingdom’s authorities to review the relevant documents, but journalists were told that “no such document was found in the prosecutor’s office.”
To recap, the sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines occurred on September 26, 2022, in the Baltic Sea near Denmark’s Bornholm Island. The explosions, which took place at a depth of approximately 80 meters, damaged three of the four trunk lines.
According to German investigative authorities, the sabotage was carried out by a team of Ukrainian divers. At the end of July, criminal charges were brought in Germany against Ukrainian citizen Sergey Kuznetsov. He became the first defendant in the Nord Stream explosions case for whom the German prosecutor’s office has submitted an indictment to the court.
