A preliminary investigation into suspected serious sabotage has been initiated due to suspected damage to a communication cable that runs between Sweden and Latvia in the Baltic Sea. A ship suspected of having carried out the sabotage has been seized following a decision by the prosecutor.
The Security Service is conducting the preliminary investigation under the leadership of Senior Prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist at the National Unit for Security Cases.
– We are now carrying out a number of concrete investigative measures, but I cannot go into what they consist of due to the ongoing preliminary investigation. Several authorities, including the National Police Operations Department, the Coast Guard and the Armed Forces are involved in the investigation. I can state that Swedish authorities are now working intensively and jointly to investigate this incident, says Senior Prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist.
The prosecutor is not available to the media and has no further information to provide. When new information is available, a new press release will be sent out.
The Public Prosecutor's Office's press service does not have access to any further information or documents in the case. https://www.aklagare.se/nyheter-pre...rsokning-inledd-efter-kabelbrott-i-ostersjon/
