Madeleine McCann case: the main suspect has arisen …

Christian Brueckner, the main suspect in the Madeleine McCann case, the young Briton who disappeared in 2007 in Portugal, sent a prison statement in which she claims to be innocent, while asking for the resignation of the prosecutor in charge of the case, Hans Christian Wolters.

“Charging a suspect is one thing, but it’s something completely different when a prosecutor launches a campaign of public bias before starting the main process,” begins the Handwritten letter from Brueckner published by the German media Bild. This is the first time the suspect has spoken in public since the allegations became known.

In addition to calling what happened an “incredible scandal” and ensuring that he is the victim of a smear campaign, He referred to freedom of speech and said it is not designed for “people to say or write what the majority like to hear”.

Then he called on investigating prosecutors to drop their charges: “Both demonstrate, by arbitrary convictions of the past and by scandalous campaigns of prejudice against an innocent person, that they are unfit to occupy the position of” honest defenders of the German people “”. Finally, he said that this type of legal system is a “shame for the Germans”.

The letter, dated May 8, was also accompanied by a drawing apparently made by Brueckner. In the cartoon The two prosecutors in the case, Wolters and Ute Lindemann, are pictured, which illustrates the alleged lack of evidence against him. “I’m going to order a forensic steak,” said the man who looks like Wolters. “Delicious, too,” adds the woman who would be Lindemann.

How advanced is the Maddie case investigation

The main suspect, Christian Brueckner, is a 43-year-old German citizen who is serving a sentence in a German prison for drug trafficking while appealing a seven-year sentence for a rape in Praia da Luz, which occurred 18 months before the disappearance. Madeleine.

In September, German justice opened a new investigation against Brueckner concerning the rape of a young Irish girl in 2004 which took place in the Algarve, the region where Maddie McCann disappeared.

German police found children’s clothing, as well as pictures and videos in Brueckner’s “secret lair”. It is an old factory in ruins located in the town of Neuwegersleben, in northern Germany.

We also know that the suspect was there with his camper van in 2007, the year Madeleine disappeared. In this vehicle, a large number of girls’ swimsuits could also be found and, moreover, Brueckner stated that he had hidden “children and drugs” there.

Police have also carried out searches in a allotment garden near Hanover, which are linked to the investigation into the Maddie case, according to Julia Meyer, spokeswoman for the prosecution.

Meanwhile, German forensic scientists backing Madeleine’s investigation have asked their Portuguese counterparts to reanalyze a DNA sample taken in 2007, as technological advancements may provide more information on the matter.

Hans Christian Wolters, meanwhile, sent a letter to Madeleine’s parents, confirming that they have concrete evidence that she was murdered, although he clarified that he cannot reveal the cause of death because that would hamper the investigation.

On the other hand, a former partner of Brueckner, recounted the gender violence he has exercised in various situations in the relationship and said that if Brueckner is responsible “he really has to be punished for it”.

The disappearance of little McCann in the Portuguese Algarve shocked the world in May 2007 and since then investigations have failed to clarify what happened that night when she disappeared from the hotel where she was staying with her family.
