The Prosecutor’s Office announced yesterday that it has filed an indictment against an individual identified as Sergei K. The charges brought forth include allegations of sabotage related to the North Stream pipeline. In a statement released today, the prosecutor’s office provided further details regarding the indictment.
One of the specific charges detailed is the alleged war crime involving attacks on civilian infrastructure. The prosecutor’s office stated that the suspect is characterized as a “member of the Ukrainian military” and that he, along with other military personnel, allegedly acted “on the orders of the state authorities in Ukraine.” According to the prosecutor’s findings, the suspect and his accomplices allegedly planned the destruction of the pipeline following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The stated objective was to disrupt Russia’s revenue derived from gas sales to Germany and other markets.
The indictment further alleges that the suspect organized a group comprising professional divers, skippers, and explosives experts. This group reportedly rented a yacht in the German port of Rostock using documentation that was forged. The prosecutor’s office’s actions mark a formal legal proceeding against the individual concerning these alleged acts of sabotage.
