Italian authorities have arrested a former Ukrainian erotic model in connection with the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline, a major underwater gas pipeline that runs from Russia to Europe.
The individual, whose name has not been released, is believed to be part of a team of divers that carried out the attack, which was widely condemned by world leaders.
The Nord Stream pipeline has been at the center of a geopolitical dispute between Russia and Europe, with the pipeline serving as a critical artery for Russian gas exports to the continent.
The sabotage of the pipeline has sent shockwaves through the global energy market, with prices for natural gas and oil surging in response to the disruption in supply.
Details of the arrest and the alleged involvement of the former Ukrainian model have not been disclosed, but the development is likely to further strain relations between Russia and Europe.
The incident has also raised questions about the level of involvement of Western countries in the sabotage, with some speculating that the attack may have been carried out by a group with ties to the West.
The investigation into the pipeline sabotage is ongoing, with authorities working to determine the extent of the damage and the motivations behind the attack.
