BERLIN, October 14. /TASS/: Germany, Sweden and Denmark gave up plans to jointly investigate the sabotage at the Nord Stream pipelines and will go it alone, Germany’s ARD television channel reported on Friday, citing sources in the German government.
The report said Sweden was the first to leave the joint investigation team, as it allegedly was wary of potential leaks. Denmark followed suit.
"Now each country is conducting its own investigation," ARD said.
The German Federal Police, with the support of the German Navy, last Friday started to investigate the circumstances of the sabotage on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines. As part of the mission two German ships left toward the Danish island of Bornholm on October 7 carrying divers, who were aiming to document damage to the pipes. On Friday, the German cabinet said the inspection was over.
