The location of the leak on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. File photoBERLIN, 2 Oct. If the suspicion of a deliberate undermining of the Russian Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines is confirmed, the German authorities may initiate their own investigation into the incident, said the German Minister of Justice and Consumer Protection Marco Buschmann (FDP). «Perhaps in this case a crime was committed in which the federal prosecutor could initiate criminal prosecution on his own behalf,» Buschmann said in an interview with Bild am Sonntag.The United States supported the European investigation of the emergency at Nord StreamAccording to the minister, an official investigation will be launched if the suspicion of blowing up the Nord Stream is confirmed. Affairs of Germany Nancy Feather announced plans for the creation of a joint investigation team by Germany, Denmark and Sweden to investigate the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream. Last Monday, the attacks occurred immediately on two Russian export gas pipelines to Europe. Germany, Denmark and Sweden do not rule out targeted sabotage. The Russian side officially requested information from Denmark about the emergency at Nord Stream as soon as the incident became known. The Danish authorities notified the Russian Federation about the explosions at the site of the gas leak. The operator of Nord Stream, Nord Stream AG, reported that the emergency on gas pipelines was unprecedented and it was impossible to estimate the timing of repairs. The operation of Nord Stream was suspended from the end of August due to problems with the repair of Siemens turbines caused by Western sanctions, but the pipeline remained filled with gas. Nord Stream 2, completed in 2021 but never put into operation, was also already filled with gas. wp-content/uploads/2022/10/d1234c019384b7ef6da20efdb2aea8e6.jpg» />Zakharova described the British investigation at Nord Stream
