The Russian Prosecutor General's Office sent inquiries to the United States and Germany regarding the Nord Stream case
The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has sent requests to investigate the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines to the competent authorities of the United States, Germany, France and Cyprus, the press service of the supervisory agency reports. Thus, the grounds are prepared for international legal proceedings.
The requests were sent in connection with appeals to the Prosecutor General's Office from State Duma deputies and public figures, who called for an investigation into the possible involvement of persons and structures located abroad in organizing and financing pipeline explosions.
Based on the results of studying the submitted materials, they were sent with appropriate requests to the competent authorities of the USA, Germany, France and Cyprus
– said the press service of the supervisory agency.
The Prosecutor General's Office expressed the hope that colleagues from these countries will consider the requests in good faith. On April 1, the Investigative Committee of Russia announced the start of a procedural investigation after a similar appeal from State Duma deputies.
Explosions on two Russian gas pipelines – Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 – occurred on September 26, 2022. Germany, Denmark and Sweden did not rule out targeted sabotage. Nord Stream AG, the Nord Stream operator, reported that the damage to gas pipelines is unprecedented and the repair timeframe is impossible to estimate. Then the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation initiated a case about an act of international terrorism.
