Madeleine McCann case: the main suspect spoke

Christian Brueckner, targeted by the disappearance of the young Briton, sent a letter from prison accompanied by a curious drawing.

Christian Brueckner, is the prime suspect in the crime of Madeleine McCann, the young British girl who disappeared in 2007 when she was three years old at a hotel complex in Praia da Luz, Portugal, where she was staying with her parents, has broken the silence and tell him the truth.

The German is currently serving a seven-year sentence after being convicted of raping a 72-year-old American in 2005 (two years before the girl’s disappearance and near the scene of the alleged crime), in a house in Praia. . Brueckner was also accused of abusing his ex-girlfriend’s five-year-old daughter in 2013.

Although the suspect in Madeleine McCann’s murder was never questioned, he decided to send a jail press release stating he is innocent. In addition, he asks the prosecutor in charge of the investigation, Hans Christian Wolters, to leave his post.

This is the first time the man has spoken in public since the allegations were made public. The letter was handwritten, dated May 8 and published by the German media outlet Bild.

In the letter, you can read: “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. In this way, Brueckner described what happened as “an incredible scandal” and claimed to be the victim of a smear campaign.

As for freedom of speech, the German said it is not designed for “people to say or write what the majority like to hear”. Finally, he asked the prosecutors in charge of the investigation to give up their positions. “Both demonstrate, by arbitrary convictions of the past and by scandalous campaigns of prejudice against an innocent person, that they are not fit to occupy the position of” honest defenders of the German people “”. In turn, I consider this type of legal system to be “a shame for the Germans”.

The letter was accompanied by a drawing apparently made by Brueckner. In the image, the two prosecutors in the case, Wolters and Ute Lindemann, are pictured in a pizzeria asking for a “forensic net”. The drawing seeks to “mark” that investigators have no forensic evidence to blame him.
