In this article, again, a ‘scrap of blue material’ is mentioned. G-unit gave an explanation as well as references to the files. Does this mean the ‘scrap’ is part of the saliva sample?

As far as I can remember and I do have an excellent memory, that scrap was cut from the bedspread on the other single bed in the children's bedroom.

The Braunschweig prosecutor, Christian Wolters, has made clear to the BBC that there’s no forensic evidence to indicate that #MadeleineMcCann is dead.

He adds “We have a fact-based suspicion that the accused (Christian B) has killed Madeleine”
It’s a “concrete suspicion” he says;'

This is what I suspected. The UK press don't understand the Germans being able to open a murder case based on suspicion and experience of similar crimes only. They have confused 'concrete suspicion' with 'concrete proof' IMO.

What makes suspicion concrete... By definition it isnt

Maybe it doesn't lend itself to translation.

Maybe it's just badly translated

Not everything is done to please the English language.

Not sure what you mean by that... It's fairly clear it's, a poor translation... Even concrete proof is poor... Proof is proof
I note he doesn't mention evidence.

English and German are quite closely related.. I speak a little

So his effort to clarify the situation hasn't worked... Unless someone can explain what a concrete suspicion is

I think his suspicion ( as in enough to open an investigation in legal terms) is concrete. As in that threshold has been met. He can base his suspicion on someone's profile and the possibility they were in the area.

Clear as mud... I'll tell you what makes a suspicion concrete... Evidence

The prosecutor seems to be going for a murder charge. The little I've gathered about German law seems to be similar to the UK: for the prosecution to take a case to court, there has to be a greater chance of being convicted than of being acquitted. Not sure where I read that, so take it as opinion.

It is clear if you understand some of the German legal system and how they open investigations.
