Portuguese police 'have only 22 more months to make their case against prime suspect Christian Brueckner' for the kidnap and murder of three-year-old Madeleine McCann before 15-year limit for prosecutions runs out
  • Rogerio Alves said police have only 22 months left to arrest Christian Brueckner
  • Said investigation 'still on time' even with 15-year prosecution limit in Portugal
  • Madeleine went missing in 2007 from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz
By JEMMA CARR FOR MAILONLINE

Portuguese police have less than two years to make their case against Christian Brueckner for the kidnap and murder of three-year-old Madeleine McCann, her family's lawyer said.

Rogerio Alves said police have only 22 more months and 'time is getting short now' because of a 15-year statute of limitations for prosecutions in Portugal.

Speaking on McCann: The Hunt for the Prime Suspect on ITV, Alves said: 'We have a 15 years time barrier, even to manslaughter, to homicide, to certain sexual offences — and even to the most serious kind of kidnapping.

'So we are still on time. But time is getting short now.'

The show - set to air at 9pm on Thursday - also addresses the mistakes police made which potentially stopped Brueckner from being a known suspect earlier on.

I do not believe it.  Well, I do.  So there's another bit of Portuguese Law that I really didn't want to know.

It seems that without the Germans and their initiative renewing active interest in Madeleine's case - all any perpetrator had to do was play a waiting game.

Then s/he could have written yet another pejorative book bemoaning about being hounded by the McCanns for fifteen years ... sure to be a best seller.
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

I thought the parents didn’t have a lawyer ?

Curiouser and curiouser.

Why so surprised?
Many countries have a statute of limitation for various crimes.

Presumably this will apply not just to Brueckner, but anyone else who had any hand in this disappearance.

Has Portugal expressed an interest in prosecuting this suspect? The Germans seem happy to deal with him.

Police in Portugal reopen rape investigation after claim against Madeleine McCann suspect
Hazel Behan thinks her attacker may have been Christian B, the main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Martin Brunt
Crime correspondent @skymartinbrunt

Portuguese police have reopened their investigation into the unsolved rape of an Irish woman after 16 years.

Hazel Behan, 37, believes her attacker may have been drifter Christian B, the main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

He was convicted of a similar rape a year after Ms Behan was attacked and two years before Madeleine vanished.

This week detectives collected their own archived case files from the court in Portimao to see if they could build a case against the suspect.

One problem they will face is that vital forensic evidence with potential DNA was destroyed on the orders of a judge, a common practice in Portuguese cases where no suspect is identified.

A source told Sky News: "Detectives are looking again for new evidence and the investigation is reopened."

Ms Behan was a 20-year-old holiday rep who arrived in Praia da Rocha on the Algarve coast in April 2004.

Would the murder then have had to occur in the UK?

Which suggests that if said crime is committed by a foreign national, then this wouldn't apply.
