Brueckner charged with sexual offences in cases unrelated to Madeleine

[Vertigo Swirl]

Seriously you believe the Sun, for years we read the "The Truth", or its version of what happened at Hillsborough, all turned out to be bollox.

It wasn't reported only in the Sun, silly sausage, but also in the European media

[Vertigo Swirl]

Indeed.

If they had been ‘fobbed off’ by the PJ why not approach a British police force and if they did approach a British force surely they shouldn’t have then been taking that information to the tabloids.

I wonder what could have been their motivation?

Frustration most likely.  It's as if you've never heard of the role the media can take in addressing serious lapses in organisations such as the police, the judicial system, governments.  Tsk.

Cites, the Sun merely says greek media.

It is a known fact that Brueckner was very much up to no good on The Algarve at the time that Madeleine disappeared.  Some of his convictions relate to sexual crimes of one sort or another.  No one in The PJ did anything about this.  So it shouldn't be of any great surprise that Germany eventually did.

This leads me to suspect that there was some sort of protection racket going on in Portugal at the time.

I do tend to put more trust in those who did speak to the police and refused to speak to the media.

I don't have to provide cites, ask G-unit.

But unlike G-Unit, I am happy to provide cites.  Here you go.

Note: this Greek article appeared in 2017.  Busching did not talk to the media until 2020(?) I believe.  Therefore according to G-Unit she would (for three years at least) put her trust in his evidence as he hadn't spoken to the media.  However the moment he did speak to the media apparently we are to stop trusting him, that's how it works in Sceptic-world it would seem.  Funny old world innit.

Not doing any good though, is it.  Brueckner has been charged and will go to Trial.

Meanwhile, nothing to stop Amaral from providing a character reference for The Defence.

I take it you know what those wee squiggly things mean when placed before " and after " a verbatim statement as in for example:
The Sun asked what he thought of Christian B and he said: “One word. Guilty.”  https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12638463/witness-mccann-guilty-christian-b/

I take it that The Sun is savvy enough to know that should it be "bollox" and not "The Truth" that Helge Brusching did actually say that, it is highly likely he is due a lot of money from them in compensation.

I think Amaral spews bollox every time he opens his mouth or puts pen to paper.  But worth bearing in mind prior to your pontificating, that you and I are just armchair detectives reliant to a great extent on whichever supplier of bollox we care to use.

The real deal are the law enforcement officers who have been working for years to keep s..m off the streets. So far I think they have done that very well and if they have to use s..m to legitimately achieve that aim, more power to their elbow!

Your cite specifically states ~
According to documents and testimonies revealed by "To Vima tis Kyriakis", the British police have developed cooperation with the Hellenic Police in recent days for the examination of a 46-year-old German who was arrested and resides in our country and is identified as an important and reliable witness in the thriller of little Madeleine. As it still turns out, a team of Scotland Yard met this man in Athens a few days ago and drew crucial clues about the girl's fate.

Brusching has been very careful about what he has said to the media, which is the bare minimum.  I don't think there is any doubt as to his value as far as investigators working on Madeleine's case are concerned.

Absolutely.

I find it rather strange this supporter assumption that if you think that there is little evidence in the public domain to suggest Brueckner’s guilt in connection to the McCann case then you somehow support him. Can you please explain how that works?

[Brietta]

There is a long list of those who have relayed information regarding Madeleine's case to the appropriate authorities, which has been subsequently ignored.

None more infamous than the information Ricardo Paiva was found to be hoarding in 2010 in files marked as being irrelevant and which he as head of the Portuguese investigation had been sitting on and doing nothing about.

Maybe he should put his money where his mouth is and reveal to the German court the source for his certainty of Brueckner's innocence of involvement in Madeleine's disappearance.
