Croatian court approves extradition of Nord Stream bombing suspect
A suspect in the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage case will be extradited from Croatia, though the ruling still faces a pending appeal.
A Croatian court has approved the extradition of a suspect wanted in connection with the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, according to Al Jazeera.
The Nord Stream pipelines, which ran under the Baltic Sea to carry Russian gas to Europe, were damaged in explosions that investigators have treated as deliberate sabotage, though responsibility for the attack has remained a subject of international dispute and investigation.
Ruling still subject to appeal
While the Croatian court has ruled in favor of extradition, the decision is not yet final, as it faces an appeal process, meaning the suspect's transfer is not guaranteed to proceed immediately.
The case is one of several legal proceedings across European jurisdictions tied to the pipeline sabotage, which occurred amid heightened tensions following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The available report did not specify the suspect's identity, nationality, or the country requesting the extradition.
