New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

Isn't that what BKA have been supposed to have been doing since 2017 ? And what have OG been doing in that time - anything ?

There isn't very much any of them can do with the prime suspect on trial for others sex crimes.  Although I wouldn't be surprised if Amaral is up to something.  Unless someone has told him to butt out

I don't think that's the reason, I think they simply have run out of anything to investigate - and have failed to find anything convincing that connects Brueckner to MM.
However all will be revealed if he is ever charged by the Germans.

They were doing an excellent job of investigating what appeared to be a spate of related sexual assaults probably being carried out by the same serial offender.

Then the realisation dawned that there could be a connection between Madeleine's disappearance and the guy who had been carrying out his own personalised crime wave based from within the Algarve.

When that happened ~ as the saying goes ~ "the ba' was on the slates" and no stone has been left unturned in the attempt to interfere with and disrupt if not cancel cases against a proven and accused sexual predator.

Either OG is pulling off a major fraud on the public purse and in plain sight or they genuinely are using the resources to further their investigation into the case.  You seem to be suggesting the former Myster, any reason for that?

What and who else remains for them to investigate?  The only person in their sights is Brueckner, thanks to the BKA, because they've come up with no-one else up to now, otherwise it would have been plastered all over the press on how OG have almost solved it on their own.  What other use is this seemingly never-ending hand-out being put to?

I understand your frustration because you don’t know what they’re up to but just because you don’t know what they’re up to doesn’t mean they’re using the money to pay for golfing holidays on the Algarve.

Assuming an average full salary of £50k per London Met detective, the wage bill for 4 x part time = £100k.  I guess the other £100k covers the flights, the frequent stays at the luxury resort and golf club fees.  🙄

Yer well.  I think OG know where Madeleine is.  They just can't prove it at the moment so they are just keeping watch.

Voila!
