German
federal prosecutors announced the Wednesday arrest of Vladimir Z. in Pula,
Croatia, on a European arrest warrant.
The Ukrainian national is strongly suspected
of joining a group that placed explosives at 70-80 meters deep on the Nord
Stream 1 and 2 pipelines near Denmark's Bornholm island in September 2022.
The sabotage caused huge gas leaks and severed
a vital Russian gas route to Germany.
This follows earlier arrests linked to a yacht used in the operation, as investigators pursue the team behind the attack.
