The investigation and prosecution of Christian Brückner, the main suspect in the Maddie McCann case, is in slow motion. According to information from the “Braunschweiger Zeitung”, the prosecutor of the city of Braunschweig affirmed that the suspect “cannot be charged”, for lack of evidence, whereas the investigators are convinced that the man is indeed the murderer of the little daughter McCann, disappeared in 2007 in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
The main evidence of Christian Brückner’s guilt available to investigators was a phone call, proving that the suspect was near the McCanns’ apartment in 2007, when their daughter disappeared. But despite this substantial evidence, the investigators do not have sufficient elements to charge Brückner. “We have to be realistic and realize that this investigation may not result in an official charge for the murder of Madeleine McCann. We may have to close the file if we do not find the missing evidence. I cannot currently predict the outcome of our research. We remain convinced of the suspect’s guilt and are exploring new avenues which we hope will give new impetus to the investigation, “said prosecutor Wolters in the German newspaper” Braunschweiger Zeitung “.
The suspect is currently serving a 21-month prison sentence for drug trafficking in Germany, but is eligible for parole and may be released next week, should the trial be favorable. Brückner was also convicted of rape of a 72-year-old American woman in 2005 and sentenced to seven years in prison. But as long as the appeal procedure is ongoing, the accused’s conviction is not final.
