The German police searched in May the home of a person allegedly related to the alleged sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, as confirmed yesterday by a spokeswoman for the Federal Prosecutor's Office based in Karlsruhe (south).

The tenant of the house, questioned as a witness, according to said media is the former sentimental partner of a Ukrainian citizen, "Stefan M." who is the main suspect against whom the German investigation is directed at the moment. The suspect is a member of the Ukrainian armed forces and is currently participating in combat operations on the front lines.
DNA samples
Investigators from the Criminal Police (BKA) also took DNA samples from a minor son of the suspect and the tenant of the aforementioned property, to compare them with the remains found aboard the yacht "Andromeda".
With this, they intend to determine if "Stefan M.", whose name appears on one of the false passports used to rent the boat that was allegedly used for the sabotage, was actually on board the ship, or if his identity was used by the perpetrators. real to cover up the clue.
