Are The Tabloids Running Scared?

[Mr Gray]

Correct. Until Brueckner is charged, tabloid gossip is all rather irrelevant.

Irelevant to you...in your opinion...forum rules anyone

Im not talking about tabloid gossip but direct statements from teh German Prosecutor

[barrier]

We wont decide anything of any importance...the courts will. To suggest hes bluffing in a country with such strict privacy laws is ridiculous imo.

In this case Cb has every right to sue for libel if he feels  this isnt true. His very vocal lawyer has not suggested he will...I wonder why

So strict the suspects name was allowed to be broadcast.

I think you will find it was broadcast outside germany...apart from CBs own lawyer.

Wolters has seen fit to announce to the world that he knows Madeleine McCann is dead and that CB did it. At the same time he's admitted that he can't prove it.

Even if he thought he could prove it, the decision isn't his to make, it's up to the courts to decide if someone is guilty of a crime, not the prosecutor. Prosecutors have taken cases to the courts before and failed to get a conviction.

And that is why he hasn't taken it to court yet - he obviously wants to ensure a conviction which means putting together a watertight case, and to do that he needs that clinching piece of evidence.  It would be a very bad or quite mad prosecutor who would put his job on the line for absolutely no reason by announcing something of the magnitude he has without a shred of supporting evidence, and quite amazing that if he was either of those things that he is still in a job 4 months later.  Does the buck stop with him, or is he answerable to others?

Wolters has every right to say what he likes within German law and I'm sure he understands that law better than you do.

His lawyer does not seem to be taking or threatening any legal action against him

Is it worth taking the risk of going after a wrong un when the real perpetrator roams free?

Possibly the wrong thread for your post but they all do seem to end up on a theme anyway. 

I do not think the tabloids are running scared from either Brueckner or his lawyer.

In my opinion they don't need to make it up for the very simple reason that the more you hear about this man the more you realise you could not make it up because it would take a very sick mind indeed to plumb the depths of his depravity.

In the circumstances I think the tabloids have grasped the implications of the investigation and the search which has led to this man's door.  So no worries for the tabloids because they really do not need to sensationalise information which is already sensational.

Given the trail of damage Brueckner has left in his wake I think those victims we know about and those we do not know about I imagine would agree with you that it is awful when a real perpetrator is allowed to roam free because the 'wrong un' was pursued instead.

Which for Brueckner's victims from 2007 onwards might excite their interest in why according to Amaral, Brueckner - a paedophile of record - was dismissed from the investigation by the Judicial police and allowed to continue his one man crime wave throughout Europe, but in particular in the Algarve.

Please do not attempt to whitewash this man Amaral has decreed is a scapegoat because it would seem a history of chasing 'the wrong un' left this man free to conduct his horrible crime wave unfettered.
If he didn't have anything to do with Madeleine's case he certainly made up for it before and after while Amaral and his friends in the Portuguese police looked the other way.

Amaral made great use of the tabloids to 'prove' his mania against the McCanns even when he was a civilian. 

You are saying here in your post that - the decision isn't his to make - it's up to the courts to decide if someone is guilty of a crime

How do you reconcile what you are saying when it is in relation the the German prosecutor with Amaral saying and acting on exactly the same thing with regard to Kate and Gerry McCann.
The difference being the prosecutor has evidence while Amaral had none.
