New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[barrier]

So what has the Met spent 12/13 million on?

Eliminating all and sundry.

Because he is a German citizen, in prison at Kiel Germany? Broadcasts and translations thereof, are available within hours. Public interest is at its highest, I think, so citizens of all countries will read about this within hours of broadcast. And will respond.

But at the time of MM's disappearance he had been living in/around PDL for 12 years so chances are the call was from a Portuguese national or at least someone living in Portugal so why not air on Portuguese TV and/or put on PJ website?

You do realise the appeal is on BKA and MET websites but not PJ's?

The press report said the unidentified number was a pre-paid phone card. This may indicate that it was purchased by a foreign tourist - possibly German? - when they arrived at the airport.

Do you mean unidentified caller?  The number is on MET website?

Perhaps Portugal consider it to be B/S.

Alternatively the Germans & the Portuguese aren't talking to one another.

Of course Portugal consider it B/S.  It being proven to be thr German paedo is the last thing they want.

Brückner has been travelling between Germany, Portugal, Spain and Italy. He left PdL shortly after Madeleine disappeared. I have said it before: on 2 May 2007, het told his ex that he has a horrible job to do in PdL the next day and that it will change his life and that she would not see him in the near future. The PJ is under real pressure. That is what I think. So yes, I do realise that it is not on the PJ agenda for now because they are backtracking. Amaral revealed some of this almost a year ago. German police have obviously unearthed something very significant relating to Madeleine and the PJ and Amaral do not like this.

I could follow a bit. German was my 4th language at school, but only for one year.

Is this new or from the third of june

It does look as it was from the 3rd June, but an update about the phone call was supposed to have been shown tonight.  Might be reported in the English press tomorrow.

Only a very short update report in the first 5 minutes, but still no wiser...

I'm not sure what you mean by travelling between Germany, Portugal, Spain and Italy?  From 1995 - 2007 he spent most of his time in Portugal with short spells in Germany.  If he travelled by rail/road he would pass through Spain and most likely Italy too.

Where are you getting what he supposedly told an ex from?

Amaral is no longer part of PJ.  No reason for the PJ to be uncooperative.  If CB is responsible, I don't think he is, PJ will just blame it on Amaral.  Portugal will just sigh with relief it wasn't one of its own and it can move on.
