A former chief inspector believes the significant claim
(concrete evidence) may have been lost in translation.
Mick Neville founded the Met Police’s Central Forensic Image Team in 2012 and spent a number of years working with the military police in Germany.
He told Daily Star Online: “A big issue here is the phrase ‘concrete evidence’.
“The German prosecutor has stated several times that he has concrete evidence that Madeleine is dead.
“But the meaning has been lost in translation. In English the phrase means ‘irrefutable’ but in German it means ‘reasonable suspicion’ or ‘more than a rumour’.
“German police need to ensure that there is concrete evidence before they make an arrest – but it not enough to convict.”Days before sending the letter, Wolters told the Sunday Mirror that Madeleine could be alive.
He said: “Because there is no forensic evidence there may be a little bit of hope.
"We don’t want to kill the hope and because there is no forensic evidence it may be possible.”
German prisoner Brueckner, 43, was identified as the prime suspect last month.
