The suspect has been identified only as Serhii K after he was detained overnight by officers from a police station in Misano Adriatrico, near the Italian city of Rimini.

Germany’s Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig called the arrest an “impressive success” for Germany’s state prosecutors.

Shocking images show the twisted remains of the pipeline which was attacked over three years ago.
