Goncalo Amaral.

[G-Unit]

More filibustering from Amaral. If Brueckener is the 'perfect suspect' he should have been investigated at the time.

The perfect fall guy, he meant.

[barrier]

Too true. Why on earth depict him with dreadlocks when that wasn't the case according to the video taken in March?

If people actually read what Amaral said on cmtv, the german had short hair there were reports of long hair so it could not be him.

What amazes me is the fact that the news media are all promoting Christian Brueckner as if he is guilty of abducting Madeleine McCann when there isn't a shred of evidence to support it. Crazy or what?

The guy is to be pitied if anything, He had a rotten start in life and was undoubtedly abused in one way or another as an orphan. By the time he was adopted the damage was done imo. I'm not surprised in the least that he boasted of his exploits in the Algarve to an associate, that is what these people do constantly.

[Sherlock Holmes]

The perfect fall guy, he meant.

Oh yes, that's what he meant to say. He leaves out the logical corollary which is what the statement says about his own investigation. As if we won't notice.

I don't think the PJ were looking for a fall guy, and the informer didn't bother to contact them in 2007, s/he waited until 2013.

Then the German police have waited another 7 yrs to act.

[faithlilly]

I agreed.

And me.

The other words are "fugimos hoje", which translates to "we ran away today". Stencilled rather than freehand & in Portuguese rather than CB's native German.

Also interesting that Brückner’s Skype name is/was ‘Holger Wahnsinn’.

I'm not suggesting that the PJ were looking for a fall guy.

But they were responsible for tracking down the person or persons involved in MM's disappearance and failed from the outset to investigate. Brueckener as well as other pedophiles and prolific criminals were operational in the area long before M went missing and Amaral was content to bark only up one tree.

What an odd post. We don't know  what evidence the police have but what we know makes him a suspect  and hes  a suspect mainly due to his own actions. I don't feel a shred of sympathy for him.

What about the accusations against the MCCanns...Amarals book...no synpathy from the sceptics there...a very very odd post

I'm sure Robert Murat would disagree with you there, Holmes.

He was then rejected by his adoptive parents due to getting into trouble and ended up in the care of the state, I believe. While none of it justifies breaking the law, it may explain it.

I think you and John are making pathetic excuses for  a thoroughly nasty person. No excuses made for the mccann supporter convicted for downloading porn.

Welcome back, Sherlock! :)

Something isn't making sense to me.

Way before the 2006 diesel theft, when he'd admitted a previous conviction for sexual offenses during a court hearing, he'd apparently already been extradited from Portugal to Germany in 1999 for child sex offenses committed in 1994, but convicted in 1995... and somehow seemingly disappeared off the radar before serving his sentence.

Jun 10, 2020 - He had planned to start his own business but in 1999 the authorities caught up with him again. Brückner was arrested and extradited to ...

Brueckner (left and right in the 1999 mugshots), then 22, was being extradited back to Germany to be sent to jail for sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl in a playground in 1994.

Aside from what appears to read as PJ Faro, I can't work out the other detalls on the board.

Edit: A different source is Sky.

The mugshots appear to have been taken on 13/7/2009 at the Directoria do Sul, i.e., presumably Faro.

[Sherlock Holmes]

I'm sure Robert Murat would disagree with you there, Holmes.

Well that's a case in point come to think of it, General.

Murat and the McCanns have zero history of infractions yet both were made arguidos, while CB and other career criminals barely merited a look-in.
