Poland's national public prosecutor's office, asked about the German authorities issuing a European arrest warrant in a case related to the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines, confirmed on August 14 that such a warrant had been received. Germany has asked Poland to arrest a Ukrainian diving instructor who was allegedly part of a team that blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines two years ago, according to reports in German media published on August 14. The Polish prosecution said he was not arrested in Poland, as he left its territory for Ukraine in early July. German investigators believe the man was one of the divers who planted explosive devices on pipelines running from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea in September 2022, the SZ and Die Zeit newspapers reported alongside the ARD broadcaster, citing unnamed sources.
