If Brueckner is Never Charged.

[barrier]

Agreed, John, about his being a thoroughly nasty POW.

But what you are quoting is child molestation and not necessarily child sexual assault as we know it.   In some countries … and I do not know if Germany is amongst them … child molestation can mean exposing yourself to a child and not even touching the child.  Foul though that is, it hardly rates against child sexual assault as we know it in the UK

It would be interesting to know exactly what Bruckners level of child molestation was, then we can get a better understanding of the likelyhood of his abducting Madeleine.

It is interesting to note that he doesn't appear to have been charged with the images supposedly found when a old gaff was raided and memory sticks/ cards containing child porn were found under a dogs carcass,maybe it was considered low level.An abductor it does not make.

It really does depend on what this other strong evidence is that Maddie is dead and CB killed her

An abductor that may well make

There used to be an old sceptic argument along the lines of: the McCanns weren’t charged with child neglect because the police were busy building a case against them for a much more serious charge.

That really does support my suspicion that these images are important and the Germans don't want to fully show their hand at the moment. Another piece of the Jigsaw. Well spotted

‘These drug-dealing transactions commenced after Brueckner — who is reportedly a potential psychopath — returned from Portugal to Germany in 2007 and then continued into the following year. Importantly, Brueckner left Portugal only days after Madeleine McCann’s May 2007 disappearance’.

But on whose say so does it say he left Portugal only days after, how many days,one,two,21,27? with no border controls how is it known?

[Anthro]

Of course Brueckner is a realistic suspect.
In my opinion he should have been traced and and at the least questioned back in 2007.  The police did know about him then and if they hadn't spent so long intensively investigating the minutiae of the McCann and their friends' phone traffic they might even have noticed a call to Brueckner's cell located in Luz before Madeleine went missing.

If there was reason to speak to Brueckner in 2007 ... and we know there was one futile attempt to do so ...  there is now substantially more reason to have added him to the list not only as a realistic suspect but as the prime suspect.

I think the Germans have been doing an excellent amount of work on this and I am sure that there are sound operational reasons for the time it has and is taking.

I have strong misgivings regarding Amaral's premature leaking of inside information to the media which until he did was run as a pretty tight ship.

But with the prime suspect firmly under lock and key for some time to come I think the Germans will continue doing whatever it is they are doing and they will speak to Brueckner only when they are good and ready to do so.  So we will just have to content ourselves and wait and see what happens.

But with the prime suspect firmly under lock and key for some time to come I think the Germans will continue doing whatever it is they are doing and they will speak to Brueckner only when they are good and ready to do so.
I agree, Brietta. And since Brückner has not yet being interrogated, his lawyer too has zero information as to German authorities’ ‘evidence’.

[John]

I don't think e need anymore to consider him a realistic suspect...HCW says he has strong evidence CB killed Maddie..that's pretty damning

Any idiot can say that without a shred of evidence to support it.  The Germans are looking pretty stupid right now, their failure to properly communicate any details to the parents of a missing child are woeful.

I don't see HCW as an idiot...Amaral yes...but not HCW.....and he has explained precisely why he has witheld information from the parents..SY...and the PJ.

The Germans prosecuted CB for the rape the Portuguese failed on...I certainly don't see the Germans as stupid...I think we will know a lot more in the next couple of months

[Mr Gray]

From what I can see HCW is far from being an idiot..
Is it just that he supports abduction that cause some to ridicule him

The PJ and Scotland Yard failed to trap The McCanns so now The Germans are having a go.

Not sure on that claim.

Senior Portuguese police official claims German 'prime suspect' Christian Brueckner is INNOCENT of Maddie McCann murder, and was thoroughly investigated four years ago
The police official said there is 'no evidence' Christian Brueckner was involved
The former Policia Judiciaria chief said no reasons to charge him were found
This comes after Met Police launched a new Madeleine McCann appeal this week

Hang on,  Amaral said an officer knocked on CB's door got no answer and didn't go back.   Now all of a sudden he was investigated and ruled out!   Which is it?

Why are the German Police looking pretty stupid John?   They said they are collecting evidence before they interrogate him.

I can't understand how the Portuguese failed to prosecute CB for the rape,  wasn't there a hair found?

It is an old case and all evidence lost due to hmmmmmm    I wonder why.. They are working on a cold case and you have to actually congratulate them for being so persistent.

IMO they cannot lose.  If they don't have enough evidence to charge him they can perhaps tell the world what the evidence is..
In both cases CB is burned. He cannot abuse anyone anymore as his face is well known.
