Photos on websites are forever changing.. I had previously saved a copy of that photo but I don't record the website. There was no branding on the photo then.
Re. the Ibiza Airport picture in June 2007.Did we have a photo of Christian Manfred Kruse?
Could the man on the left be Christian Manfred Kruse, the German citizen recently arrested in Bélan, Paraguay with a said connection to Christian Brückner? The other picture is one of the last photos of Madeleine in Praia da Luz, taken by Neil Berry.
Did we have a photo of Christian Manfred Kruse?This is him, Rob.

This is him, Rob.
Is there a date for when this photo was taken, as to me, the man at the airport in 2007 looks older than the one of Kruse.There is no reference to an exact date but presumably from April 2021 when Kruse was arrested.
Good to see you back Rob. Hope you are well?I'm well. Just had enough of Madeleine McCann's research.

I can appreciate that as sometimes the repetitive nastiness of it all is wearing and at the moment we don't know much at all about what is going on in the German investigation. We're at the wait and see stage.I also think there is a likeness with Kruse. I have attached the same pictures in another format that might be a bit clearer. According to the id document/passport, Kruse is blonde and has grey blue eyes. Although the age difference between him and Brückner is 13 years, he may well be ‘the other blonde man who accompanied Brückner and described as brothers’ (with thanks to SD, Websleuths). The new attached picture is of Kruse (unfortunately no date).
Anyway, glad you are well.
Back on topic ~
First of all what has been billed as 'a hoax' actually never was as far as the photograph is concerned. The hoax was the bomb alert which was nothing at all to do with the photograph.
I think there is a significance that the photograph was taken at a busy international airport and was used to illustrate a news report of the event.
There is no doubt that the little girl and her unkempt companions make an incongruous threesome and I agree with Anthro that the similarity between Kruse and the man holding the child's hand is disturbing.
Almost as disturbing as the eagerness to dispel the similarity with Madeleine without any checks being done and the mere thought of that possibility being treated with such negativity.
I wish Sadie was able to post ~ this is her forte. I think the unusually high forehead matches.

The man/men in the earlier photos cannot be described as blond by any stretch of the imagination.
Your imagination seems to be doing quite well.
The man/men in the earlier photos cannot be described as blond by any stretch of the imagination.Google ‘strawberry blonde’ and ‘chestnut blonde’.
No doubt, but it doesn't stretch as far as equating dark brown hair (airport man) with blond
What does Blonde mean?
Blonde hair has only small amounts of pheomelanin and eumelanin. Strawberry blonde is actually pale red hair, and chestnut blonde is also a shade of red.

It would be interesting to know Kruse’s whereabouts during April/May 2007.
Compared to the Smith sighting.
I've always thought that efit is a ringer for Christovao.
Compared to the Smith sighting.
That chap on the right really reminds me of someone!!!He really reminds me of Piers Morgan.
I can appreciate that as sometimes the repetitive nastiness of it all is wearing and at the moment we don't know much at all about what is going on in the German investigation. We're at the wait and see stage.The “hoax” element was the claim that the picture was taken in Brazil.
Anyway, glad you are well.

Do you have a cite for that please.
The photograph was allegedly taken in Brazil in June 2007, a month after Madeleine, three, was snatched from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on Portugal’s Algarve coast.The person who posted the photo is from Brazil - Luis M. As far as I remember the media got the location of the photo wrong, not him.

While googling this story, I came across this site, which I had never heard of.

(Please note that this would appear to be a sceptic site, so those of a sensitive disposition may wish to turn away now.)
Some interesting information about this guy Luis Moreno.
I have no idea whether it is true or not.
Didn't someone ever explain to you that unknown bloggers on the internet might well be untrustworthy some more so than others.
Having read your link I would regard the comments made as nothing more or less than a pack of lies.
If you had bothered to read my last line, you would realise that I'm fully aware that they might be untrustworthy.
You are entitled to your opinion, which is just that - an opinion. Others might differ

If you learned to question everything rather than take them at face value you might learn something - IMO
