‘Nothing is being covered up’ in Nord Stream blasts probe – Scholz

Berlin hopes to bring those responsible to justice “if we can get hold of them,” the Chancellor has said

Nothing is being swept under the rug in the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage investigation, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz insisted days after Moscow criticized the German probe as “absolutely not transparent.”

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the 2022 blasts that severed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, which transported Russian natural gas to Germany and other parts of Western Europe.

”We call on all security authorities and the Federal Public Prosecutor General to investigate the blasts without regard for anyone,” Scholz said during a meeting with citizens in Prenzlau, Brandenburg, on Saturday.

”Nothing is being covered up, that should be absolutely clear,” he emphasized, adding, “We want to bring those who did this to justice in Germany if we can get hold of them.”
