The Swedish Security Service’s crime scene investigation of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines has now been completed. The investigation has strengthened the suspicions of gross sabotage.
The Security Service carried out the crime scene investigation, beginning this past weekend, with excellent support and cooperation from the Swedish Coast Guard, Armed Forces and Police Authority.
The crime scene investigation has shown that there have been detonations near Nord Stream 1 and 2, within the Swedish economic zone, resulting in extensive damage to the gas pipelines.
Certain seizures were made during the on-site investigation. The Swedish Security Service is continuously taking various measures in its investigation into these events. As part of this work, the seized material will now be processed and analysed. The continued investigation will show whether anyone can be suspected of, and later prosecuted for, this crime.
The investigation into the Nord Stream events is being conducted by the Swedish Security Service and is headed by a National Security Unit prosecutor. As the crime scene investigation has been completed, the prosecutor has lifted the cordons around the area.
The Swedish Security Service assesses the Baltic Sea incidents to be very serious, and is keeping a close eye on developments and taking the measures needed to fulfil our duty to protect Sweden and its security.
This is an English translation of a Swedish Security Service (the Swedish intelligence agency that took over this criminal investigation from the police) news release on the status of their investigation. My personal opinion/guess was that it would take weeks for evidence to be searched for as they went over the seabed with “a fine tooth comb” and additional weeks to do detailed scientific forensic analysis and research.
IMHO, if they are saying that their crime scene investigation of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines “HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETED” they are either doing a ridiculously shallow/meaningless data collection of evidence OR they FOUND SOMETHING that INCREDIBLY AND UNQUESTIONABLY PROVES WHO DID IT.
I don’t understand Swedish so I can’t go to the source of this English translation so I guess it’s always possible that this is an imperfect translation and they really didn’t say “COMPLETED”. Any Swede here to check out the original Swedish press release?
Either that, or it’s a set-up/cover-up/whitewash.
Unless they found a submarine or bodies, not likely.
There has to be forensic evidence. Whether or not that becomes public is another question. If Swedish politicians start buying beach houses by the dozen we’ll know the reason!
Surely whomever did it...used Russian materials...which is about all Ukraine has/had...except for "gifts" from Joe and the EU.
What you're looking for is communications...stuff like Biden's......"We will bring it to an end".
Maybe they found someone’s used diaper???
As if the intel communities of all modern powers don’t have warehouses full of their adversaries’ gear to be used in such a situation.
The Swedes already had their “evidence” in hand before sailing.
Brandon said he was going to do it. He did it. It’s not rocket brandonry.
Explosive ordinance is available worldwide of both US & Russian manufacture.
Evidence means absolutely nothing without tangible intelligence.
That the all-knowing/all-seeing US intelligence community is so silent on the matter speaks much louder than bits of exploded ordinance.
If Putin had it done, he would have used US material. If the US did it they would have used russkie material. What if a bad actor (Ukraine, China, taliban, etc.) used both russkie and US material?
Do the US authorities have any sway over the Swedes???
You mean something like a pending application for NATO membership?
This is a complex situation with many unknown facts and crazy political participants.
While I love the skeptical sarcastic banter on FR, we need more facts.
And, to sort the propaganda from the facts and the crazy politicians from the people they are leading astray.
Fact, people lie. Even the people we want to trust and most align with our own political identities lie to us. Let’s gather facts and remain a skeptic to all propaganda.
Being that these explosions took place under water the debris field/evidence shouldn’t be to big an area making the investigation go fairly quick.
Nice! That investigation would have taken the US congress or DOD 5 years and 1.4 trillion dollars to conduct.
Great points
Who’s showing no interest in this?
TTIUWP...
Another Biden “I Did That” sticker?
Zelensky still hasn’t said anything.
