New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[Holly Goodhead]

Why do you need to see his full criminal record when the PJ themselves were aware of his record in 2007/8? Clearly there is a good reason for his name, witness statement, alibi & vehicle check to be missing from the public files.

What did PJ know about CB in 2007/08?

What did PK know about CB in 2007/08?

PK ?

But Afaik the vrn of the campervan is unknown?  All the images I've seen have the vrn obscured?

Authorities released two tel numbers.

That was not CB's van or Madeleine but a German father and daughter who looked like her. And tabloid crap like this makes out that the original PJ investigation was a shambles!

I did say it was a toughie. Perhaps you could organise a poll if you disagree with my nomination.

Or perhaps you could stop trying to trivialize the crimes of a convicted paedophile?

Or perhaps you could go and pester someone else - I'm no longer interested.

I’ve made my point now, thanks.

PK ?

As I said I need a visit to SS

Due diligence requires an authentic primary source.

Press reports state he had had 2 criminal convictions in Portugal prior to 2007. No doubt the authorities checked his residency certificate/visa before wasting valuable jail space on him.

Probably won't many of those. Germany and UK aren't likely to be as obliging as Portugal when it comes to releasing police records

Brie as a forum do you think we could somehow arrange to access CB's criminal file?

Why do you think we should do that ?

‘Authorities believe Brueckner may be involved in the disappearance of multiple children, and are determined to find enough evidence to link him to at least one case.

But German laws allow a suspect to access their case file as soon as they are identified, and prosecutors want to prevent Brueckner's legal team from seeing the file until they are ready to charge him. 

This is why authorities have yet to confirm whether Brueckner is a suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine, despite his name and photograph being widely reported.   

Brueckner has also been linked to the disappearances of six-year-old Rene Hasse in the Algarve in 1996 and five-year-old Inga Gehricke in Germany in 2015.

Inga, often described as the 'German Maddie', disappeared without a trace from a forest in Schönebeck, Saxony-Anhalt, during a barbecue when she was five years old. This was 70 miles from Brueckner's home in Braunschweig. 

The Madeleine McCann suspect drove regularly between Bavaria and the Algarve in Portugal and police are now tracing his movements to investigate if he could be linked to other cold case files.

Prosecutors in Belgium have confirmed they are investigating if he was connected to the murder of 16-year-old Carola Titze, whose body was found in sand dunes in De Haan, near Ostend, in 1996.

The teenager was said to have met a German man while she was on holiday in the town and was seen with him at a disco just days before her murder. 

In Portugal, police face pressure to re-examine the case of Joana Cipriano, eight, who disappeared in 2004 from Figueira, seven miles from Praia da Luz. Her mother and uncle allegedly confessed to her killing but her mother has since said she was forced to admit to the crime by police who beat her’. (Daily Mail)

Wrong thread I know.  I should take it to "Goncalo Amaral".  But how interesting is that ... that under German law as soon as a suspect is named his defence team are immediately allowed to see all the files on the case.

So can any 'conspiracy buff' think of a reason why Amaral pointed the way in April for press curiosity to be piqued perhaps leading to the name of the German police's prime suspect being revealed before they were ready for that to happen.

What’s stopping you?

Slight deflection here - if CB is the guilty party he cannot be extradited to UK for trial following Brexit.

For Madeleine's sake, I hope the Germans ensure they have a very strong case as noise coming from Portugal suggests he won't be charged in that country.
