New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[jassi]

No but as the parents of the missing child I would like to think they're in the loop.

Who exactly is in charge of the investigation?

Which investigation ?
If you mean Brueckner, I would say  clearly the Germans with input from others as & when they need it.

[jassi]

But I don't believe the type of phones available then, not even sure about today, can pinpoint a phone like GPS.  It can only provide an approx location based on radius of tel tower?

I would agree. He might have had an older, more primitive  phone even by 2007 standards.

The investigation into the disappearance of MM?

Who knows?  Technically an Anglo/Portuguese production , though ultimate responsibility seems vague.

Maybe if you're in somewhere like London and have a smart phone turned on it might inadvertently connect to WiFi or contactless paypoints etc but what would it connect to in sleepy Luz in 2007?  Nah can't see it personally

You have an unfortunate habit of insisting you're right when you're wrong. Please ensure that you support your claims with cites in future.

Christian Brueckner, 43, is currently serving a 15-month sentence in his home country of Germany for drug offences

Although he was convicted in December 2019, he appealed against his seven-year sentence and so it cannot be imposed until his appeal avenues are exhausted.

But can they still keep him in jail?

In 2007 CB was known to the authorities for stealing petrol. Not exactly notorious, was he?

Vague being the operative word.  Now the Germans want to dominate like they did a few years back!

He had loads of phones.

He stole them all when he burgled.

He had some very expensive ones too, including a gold Rolex which his German landlord was shocked to see

I would prefer to take a looksie at official authentic court records.

I think the Germans have a different agenda - to nail Brueckner. Madeleine is only one strand of investigation as far as they are concerned
IMO

Unless some one is watching millions of people at one time then the phone as a tracker is useless, they can tell where you've been in a general area in the past, but to the exact position at any given time after the event I doubt that somehow.

Pending the echr verdict which I seem to recall is expected to happen before the summer recess.

Thank You.

I think it's the European court of justice... Not ECHR
