Brueckner charged with sexual offences in cases unrelated to Madeleine

[Brietta]

Did we ever hear the end of that?  I don't think so.

I think one or two inconsequential heads did roll along the gutters.  But it is rumoured "the elite" amongst them remained as they always have been, "untouchable".
I think the suicide rate is very high amongst the used, abused and discarded children.

I have to wonder if anyone will ever do anything about the disgraceful State of Portugal and it's Police Forces.

I have to wonder why it seems to cause you concern

Abuse of any kind, especially children does offend me.  And I don't much care about where it happens.

Portuguese case files?

What a disingenuous post.

"The difference is that on this occasion the offence was reported to the German police who exercised due diligence.

They went through case files and found an account of a rape which independently corroborated the account made in the witness statements. This enabled the victim to be traced and the rest as they say, is history."

What files do you suppose?  The Germans knew absolutely nothing about this aggravated rape.  But when the witnesses to the video content made their allegation about Brueckner - they made it their business to investigate to find out its veracity, which they did.

The Portuguese had been sitting on the knowledge for twelve years.  Just as they had been sitting on the knowledge of a rape with the same rape MO which had occurred a year previously.

If you cannot see the significance - very much your problem and nobody else's.

He has been found guilty by the right authorities.  Such a disgrace about Portugal.

It's never too late to right a wrong or to officially recognise that one has occurred.  At least our police are capable of clearing up the mess by themselves without the necessity of reliance on coppers from a different national jurisdiction to do it for them.
