The Bulgarian ship "Vezhen," which was detained last week due to an incident involving a damaged cable in the Baltic Sea, has been released. The investigation has not found any evidence of serious sabotage, and this theory has been dismissed, the Swedish Prosecutor’s Office said on February 3.
A combination of bad weather, insufficient equipment, and shortage of crew contributed to the cable damage, the Swedish authorities stated.
