"Prosecutor General Jens Rommel has received the first arrest warrant for a suspect," the statement said.
According to ARD, SZ, and Die Zeit, "it is a Ukrainian, Volodymyr, who reportedly recently visited Poland." "According to the investigation, two other Ukrainian citizens, including a woman, are also suspects," the newspaper writes. It is also reported that they are suspected of involvement, possibly as divers. According to the new data, the information about the other suspects is based, among other things, on foreign intelligence information.
The spokeswoman for the German Prosecutor General reportedly left the question of the arrest warrant unanswered.
In June, German prosecutors reportedly applied to the Polish authorities for a European arrest warrant for the suspect. But no result was obtained. "During a brief phone conversation on Tuesday," Vladimir reportedly "was surprised by the accusation." "He denied any involvement in the attacks on Nord Stream," the newspaper writes.
