Is there more circumstantial evidence against the mccanns than there is CB

[Eleanor]

They can do that if the person being called admits (sworn statement) to getting a call that time from Christian B and it was Christian B they spoke to.

Brueckner received the call.

[Mr Gray]

If you want to believe what The Sun says that's your prerogative, but I prefer facts.

If you read my post you would understand I'm not totally accepting anything. If you want facts don't comment for a couple of months when we may well know more. The whole board is full of speculation.

You don't seem to have a problem with posters saying wolters has nothing...perhaps you think it's s fact

Brueckner received the call.

In post 3 pages back  "Brueckner had made a 30-minute call to a phone registered to a man named Diogo Silva just an hour before McCann disappeared."

Where it says "had made" I took that to mean CB made the call.

I think you will find that this is wrong.  Not that it matters all that much.

Eleanor is right, Rob.  Brueckner's phone received the call in Luz.  The police didn't know from whom or from where but the recipient was in Luz.

Have they spoken to Diogo Silva yet?

Does he exist ?  On first sight I immediately thought of "John Smith" or "Jane/John Doe"

I thought one of his girlfriends was said to be the caller.

[faithlilly]

I watched it too....you are absolutely correct

Shipman may not have been charged in the early weeks of the case but he was certainly arrested and questioned. Has Brueckner been arrested and questioned yet ?

He is neither going anywhere nor is he going to find it easy to commit more crimes where he is ~ I am sure the Germans will do whatever it is they will do in their own good time.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Shipman was not arrested until months after police first started investigating his victims deaths.  Fact.  In the meantime his name was linked to those deaths in the media PRIOR to his arrest.

[sadie]

I think you will find HCW and FF refer
To CB as Christian B. The tabloids outed him.

Was it the tabloids, or was it Amaral who outed him?   Amaral certainly drew attention to the case IIRC.

You obviously think that the German police have elastic budgets. Wolter said that they have concrete evidence...why is Brueckner not being questioned about it ? That standard behaviour in every police case...why not this one ?

Please do not presume to tell me what I think.

It is my opinion that in Britain we only know how much justice costs in Madeleine's case because a highly vociferous group of individuals have insisted on their right to use - I would say abuse - FOI as one tool amongst many to do their best to impede any investigation at all so enmeshed are they in spite and attacking Madeleine's family.

I don't know what it is costing the German taxpayer to clean up Portugal's legal mess ~ I am just appalled that it is obvious that if the Germans weren't doing it no-one else would and were I a woman living in Portugal I would be seriously concerned about that.

I don’t need to presume what you think, you hammer it home in every one of your posts. There is no member of this forum who is more transparent in their views than your good self.

As to the money spent by the U.K. taxpayer on the McCann case, there is no need for FOI requests when the media tell the public both the amount awarded and the running total whenever a request is made by OG.

As to your last sentence, I know quite a few woman living in Portugal and I have not heard one of them raise concerns about their treatment at the hands of their police. Unfortunately when it comes to rape the same can’t be said for U.K. victims.... https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/jul/30/convictions-fall-record-low-england-wales-prosecutions. “ The crime is becoming decriminalised”....how utterly shameful.

I doubt that the women of Portugal were fully aware of the nature of the beast allowed to walk amongst them and their children until the news broke earlier this year about Bruekner.
