The primary suspect linked to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann attempted to approach a prosecutor in Germany. Christian Brueckner was spotted trying to gain access to the offices of lawyer Hans Christian Wolters, who asserts having evidence implicating him in the abduction and murder of the British child.
Brueckner has consistently claimed his innocence ever since Madeleine vanished from her family’s holiday residence in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007. Recently released from prison after serving a seven-year sentence for the rape of an elderly woman, the convicted sex offender expressed his frustrations outside the court to Sky News. He stated that he sought assistance to reclaim his life, blaming the media scrutiny on the prosecutor.
On September 17, the 49-year-old was transported from prison to a new residence in Germany provided by local authorities. His main lawyer, Dr. Fulscher, criticized the Braunschweig public prosecutor’s office for prejudicing the case through media statements without presenting adequate evidence or allowing access to the case files.
Images surfaced of the modest flat where Brueckner had been residing before relocating due to the leak of his address on a local WhatsApp group. Angry locals confronted him as police escorted him from the flat, carrying only a few personal belongings. The flat was sparsely furnished with just a bed, chair, and desk with a lamp.
