nvestigation SÁBADO. Alibi of sole suspect in Madeleine McCann's disappearance is not confirmed
By Sandra Felgueiras & Diogo Barreto
The Portuguese authorities do not believe that Bruckner acted alone. A robbery which occurred six months later a few kilometres from Praia da Luz shares several points in common with the disappearance of the child.
Christian Bruckner is the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the British child who mysteriously disappeared on May 6, 2007, in Praia da Luz, in the Algarve. But the Portuguese authorities doubt he acted alone and his alibi has no strong foundation. The SÁBADO investigation was in Germany on the 15th anniversary of the disappearance of the English child.
SÁBADO Investigation has been given access to the alleged alibi Christian Bruckner provided in order to prove he was not responsible for Madeleine McCann's disappearance, but which does not clear him. The alibi is a German woman called Anna Lena Einhart who was arrested for possession of a prohibited weapon at Faro airport six days after Madeleine went missing.

Bruckner's lawyer has been trying - for two years - to convince several journalists that Bruckner was with her at the time of her disappearance, but the criminal court file, to which we have had exclusive access, only shows that Bruckner acted as translator for Anna Lena during her judicial interrogation on May 9 2007.
Yet Bruckner guarantees that on the night of 3 May 2007, the night of the disappearance of the English child, he was having s-e-x in the camper van with a German woman near Faro. The SÁBADO investigation followed her trail, but never located her. We did find a file linking the two on 9 May, six days after the disappearance. She tried to board the plane with pepper spray at Faro airport on her way to Germany. The translator during the judicial interrogation was Christian Bruckner, as is well documented in the file that SÁBADO had access to, and he gave a German address.

Jutta Rabe, an investigative journalist was never convinced by Bruckner's arguments. "I wrote to him and he wrote me long letters and he claims that he was a drug dealer at that time and I said: 'Then you must have witnesses, you can tell places where you were and where you were on those days, 2 May, 3 May, 4 May' and he said he was travelling between Spain and Portugal and I told him: 'Then give me names. Were you with a friend, give me names. Were you with any friends?' And he said yes. And I said I would check everything he told me, but he never gave me any details."

To SÁBADO, the German prosecutor in charge of the case, Hans Christian Wolters assumes that "everything points to the fact that there may have been a premeditated kidnapping aimed at selling Madeleine". A premeditated crime that went wrong and that due to the excessive media coverage led to several changes of plans and even to the murder of the English child, the prosecutor believes.
Unlike the German authorities, the PJ does not believe that Bruckner acted alone. And points to the hypothesis that he had Nicole Felhinger as the moral author who provided him with all the information to execute the crime perfectly. This suspicion that he did not act alone is related to a robbery he carried out six months after McCann's disappearance. That crime was carried out with Nicole Fellinger. The modus operandi for the burglary was very similar to the one used to break into the McCanns' house. The aim was to steal a suitcase containing 100,000 euros that only the babysitter knew where it was, while the couple were away from home. The babysitter, Nicole Fehlinger, was Bruckner's girlfriend.
SÁBADO Investigation also had access to a document which says Bruckner's phone places him at the time of the murder in front of the apartment from where Madeleine disappeared.
Following Madeleine's disappearance in May and the robbery of the Albufeira house in November, Bruckner became a wealthy man after leaving prison without any money. He showed up with a new camper van at a festival in Spain and even bought a property in Germany for 36,000 euros. It was on this land that German police found his dog buried with 7 USB sticks containing 13 videos of child pornography.
