Police fear for one special thing in the Madeleine McCann case
A race against time
German Christian Brueckner is currently serving a prison sentence for rape by an elderly woman in 2005-an assault committed in the Algarve region of Portugal, not far from the place where Madeleine McCann disappeared two years later.
With a planned release on September 17, 2025 – and an application for possible previous release – it is now urgent for investigators to strengthen the case against him.
According to British media as The Sun and Metro The German authorities have therefore corrected an invading appeal to the British police, more specifically Metropolitan Police’s Operation Grange, who has investigated the Madeleine McCann case since 2011.
The hope is to enable a closer collaboration effort before Christian Brueckner possibly gets the freedom back.
« The clock is against the case here, and the investigators do not want to see Brueckner go free, » says an anonymous source of The Sun.
A comprehensive material
German police reportedly have over 20,000 pages of evidence in the Madeleine case and, according to the source, are ready to translate it all for British investigators.
However, the exact nature of the evidence is unknown, as is the source’s relationship with the case.
Christian Brueckner has long been suspected, but despite international efforts, he has not been prosecuted for Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.
However, in 2023 it was reported that he should have admitted the crime to a co -inserted, Laurentiu Codin.
But without specific charges or prosecution points in the case, the authorities risk losing its grip on the person who many people believe is sitting with the answer to one of Europe’s most talked about crime mysteries.
