A Ukrainian man wanted in Germany in connection with the Nord Stream explosions was arrested while working on a Hollywood movie about the gas pipeline attack starring Adrien Brody and Sean Penn, a report said Thursday.
Police in Pula, Croatia, on Wednesday detained Volodymyr Zhuravlov under a European arrest warrant put out by Germany, which is seeking his extradition.
German prosecutors say Zhuravlov is a trained diver and accuse him of helping plant explosives on the Baltic Sea energy link between Russia and Germany that destroyed three of the four pipelines in 2022.
Germany's Legal Tribune Online reported he was arrested while working on the set for the movie "Snake Island" by U.S. director Doug Liman ("Bourne Identity"), with Brody and three-time Oscar winner Penn.
Zhuravlov worked as an advisor for the film, according to media reports.
