Christian Brückner claims to have an alibi the night Madeleine went missing?

[jassi]

Exactly, if CB drove the girl to the airport the parents would confirm or deny it surely, Brunt says in his piece she was on holiday with her parents.

Does Brunt provides a source for this story?

Nope.

Seems like her parents should be done for neglect then, leaving her in the clutches of an older man who (if she was under the age of consent) committed statutory rape on her, by his own admission.

I'm at a bit of a loss to understand why so many of his various friends, currently scattered across the globe, would have conspired to implicate him in Madeleine's case.

Depends how you define a friend.

[Brietta]

As his 'friends' didn't bother we'll never know.

He didn't brag about it at the time.  He did though on the tenth anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance when Kate and Gerry were campaigning on her behalf.  His horrified friends reported to the BKA who started investigating him then. The rest as they say - is history.

Didn't he, allegedly, confess to Helge Bushing at a kite festival in 2008?

That was reported;

Busching spoke to Brueckner at a Spanish kite festival in 2008, where Brueckner allegedly admitted that he had been involved in Madeleine’s abduction.

Busching was so horrified by the credible, detailed & graphic account of this serious offence against the innocent minor, that he thought he'd better not tell the police about it for at least another 9 years.

I wonder what changed his mind?

[faithlilly]

It seems his alibi has been checked out.. Pepper spray girl.. And the fates don't add up

Not according to your man Wolter.

“ German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters, who is leading the Madeleine investigation with Portuguese and British detectives, told Sky News: "I assume if he has anything that exonerates him that sooner or later he will share it with us and we would then check it out. What happens then, let's see.

"So far he has told us nothing, he's given us no alibi. So, we can only work on the evidence we have found so far in our investigation. And there was nothing to exonerate him."

Straight from the horse’s mouth.

According to a Greek police report, Busching's evidence was 'given voluntarily and without monetary or other consideration'.

Nevertheless something made him decide the time was right to share the knowledge he had apparently kept to himself for 9 years.

Try not to think so simplistically..

Try not to think so simplistically..

Now that did make me laugh. Wolter, in his own words, said that Brueckner’s alibi hadn’t been debunked.

Over to you.

Do the police, generally, tell the public that they’ve done a deal with a criminal?
