Serhijus Kuzniecovas

Serhijus Kuzniecovas is a Ukrainian citizen who has been charged with sabotage related to the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosions. He is alleged to have led the operation that resulted in these attacks and was arrested in Italy in 2025 before being extradited to Germany. Kuzniecovas reportedly used false identity documents to rent a yacht from Rostock, Germany, which was implicated in the operation. German prosecutors have described the evidence against him as overwhelming, citing his own admissions made during phone conversations while detained. He is currently held in Hamburg awaiting trial.
