Disappeared and Abducted Children and Young Adults > Madeleine McCann (3) disappeared from her parent's holiday apartment at Ocean Club, Praia da Luz, Portugal on 3 May 2007. No trace of her has ever been found.
Now that Jurisdiction has reverted to Braunschweig ....
Brietta:
The Maddie McCann case
"The decision of the Higher Regional Court does not change anything for the investigations in the Maddie case," prosecutor Christian Wolters told BILD. "We had continued the investigations unchanged anyway, because we were of the opinion that the responsibility for all investigations against Christian B. lies in Braunschweig."
These investigations are still ongoing: "They are ongoing. The results of the search operation from Portugal are not yet available." There, a reservoir had been searched in May, where Christian Brückner is said to have camped frequently.
It is theoretically possible, according to Wolters, that the investigation into the Maddie case will be completed and charges will be brought against Brückner before the proceedings in the Hazel B. case are concluded: "Both proceedings run independently of each other and have little in common apart from the accused."
"However, since the Higher Regional Court has asked the Regional Court to continue the current proceedings in the Hazel B. case and others quickly, I think it is very unlikely that the Maddie investigations will be completed before the end of the other proceedings," the prosecutor cautiously hopes for a speedy start at least the first trial against Christian Brückner.

I never could understand why the jurisdiction issue took as long to resolve as it did. That's the law for you! At least now that it appears to have been sorted as far as the five pending sexual abuse cases Brueckner has been charged with are concerned, we can move forward.
Where to now though?
Eleanor:
Get Brueckner On Trial for the Five Outstanding Charges. This will happen before his current conviction comes to an end.
This whole thing has been about waiting. It is unfortunate that it has been left to Germany. Or is it?

It is very hard to see how Brueckner is going to wiggle out of the five serious and deviant charges he will now face.
At least no-one can point the finger at the German legal system and claim Brueckner is either a patsy or that he is being treated unfairly. They have bent over backwards on his behalf by taking months out to sort out the jurisdiction problem which he must have known was a lie from the word go.

I honestly don't know what Fulscher thinks he is up to. Unless he is looking for more clients amongst the depraved. Although I don't actually have a problem with that. Someone has to represent them.
But Juristiction was pretty pathetic. And isn't actually important if someone has committed a crime.

Even horrors like Brueckner enjoy the protection of the law which they deny to others. It is what differentiates us from them. Somebody does indeed have to defend them and FF has chosen to do that but as far as jurisdiction goes it is obvious he had no option because the circumstances of the five charges left nothing to the imagination and all he could do was ro play for time.
One can only imagine the cries of shock horror from his support were the prosecution to have tried to use this ploy in reverse. Incredibly this proven woman [ censored word ] actually does nave a following 🙄
Fulchers are a necessity as part of the system and Fulcher wouldn't have been doing his job if he hadn't done as well as he could. In this instance the court belatedly applied the law and reinstated the status quo back to where it was in April.
But I think there will be other procedural ploys thrown in to disrupt the process if the opportunity presents itself. After all we know what the indictments are and walking away from any one of them will be a bit of a miracle.
