Ukrainian Man Arrested in Croatia Over Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage. According to public broadcaster ARD, investigators in Croatia have arrested a second suspect who is alleged to have been involved in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. The man is alleged to have been one of the divers who, in September 2022, planted explosives at a depth of around 80 metres after setting out from a sailing boat. Germany’s Federal Prosecutor General had already identified the man in Poland in 2025, but was unable to persuade the Polish authorities to extradite him. The suspect was released, leading to diplomatic tensions between Germany and Poland. Also in 2025, another suspect in the case was extradited from Italy to Germany to face investigation over his alleged involvement in the sabotage. The Ukrainian national is expected to stand trial in Hamburg shortly. Germany will now seek the suspect’s extradition from Croatia. The 2022 attack resulted in three of the pipeline’s four lines being destroyed. It remains unclear who was ultimately behind the 2022 attack and who masterminded the sabotage.
