If Brueckner is Never Charged.

Or Women.

Racist and sexist??  Surely not.

It looks like it to me.  And it is so much more easy to beat up a woman, Don't you think.

The Portuguese weren't interested and The Germans had him.

I am not sure of the legal implications regarding The Extradition Warrant, but No One Else was doing anything.  Portugal, Italy and then back to Germany.  Who on earth was supposed to deal with this man?  And at least The Germans are trying to do something about one of their own.

I am tired of blaming Portugal.  It is always the same old same old.  Portugal was utter useless and we all know that.

Whether or not Portugal had an agenda is probably a point for discussion, but I am not sure if  I would Approve a Thread on that if someone else started it, so I can hardly start a Thread myself.

I think the enormity of events overtook them.

Just because someone chooses to live a solitary life in a campervan doesn't make them a paedophile.  Yet the one thing I have learned from Madeleine's case is that quite a few ex-pats of all nationalities actually were and had convictions at home to prove it.

I have no idea what the Portuguese could lawfully have done to address this problem ... and I think it is a problem, but I don't think ignoring it makes it go away.

When Madeleine went missing in close proximity to where Joana disappeared from these guys, particularly those actually living in Luz however transient should have been hauled in and given such a grilling they would have voluntarily moved on and given someone else the problem.
They were known and the sickening thing in light of current development is that Brueckner was known.

So why on earth did two investigations into missing children carried out by and large by the same investigation team, almost immediately settle on the girls' mothers without exhaustively checking out known paedophiles living in their midst ...
They moved heaven and earth sparing no efforts in pursuit of these women without a shred of evidence as back up and incidentally wrote best sellers about both cases ... in the meantime it seems guys like Brueckner had their keep out of jail card safely stowed away in their Winnebagos or equivalent.

Oh really !

Sounds rather like clutching at straws to me

Yes really. I’ve volunteered in enough charity shops to be able to speak with authority.

Have you ever been down the Cannongate on a Saturday night ?

I have no idea of where The Cannongate is.  Is it in London?  If so then thank God I got out when I did.

It’s in Glasgow.

[Eleanor]

It’s in Glasgow.

I never went anywhere on a Saturday night in Glasgow.  Unless I was working on the buses.  In which case my Driver looked after me.  Not that there was ever any need.  Everyone was lovely to me.

I don't think you would have found a Canongate in Glasgow, Eleanor.

There is a very famous area in Ediburgh called the Canongate but on the west coast we couldn't afford Cannons but they obviously needed Gallows in Glasgow to keep us down instead.

In the East end of Glasgow there is the Gallowgate ... I've always felt comfortable there but although quite a run down area in its day, I think you would have enjoyed it too.

My passion for Glasgow remains to this day.

I wonder if it's possible that the Portuguese justice system is racist / xenophobic or is it just generally useless?  It does seem not to be all that interested in investigating crimes against foreign nationals....

And more, I wonder.  Could they be protecting some people?  One has to wonder.

So in a foreign country, just how many new pairs of Startright childrens sandals would there be to begin with.  Who would have been the original purchasers?  Elites, rich Brits ?

Come on Faith.  Why are you so very keen that the sandals on my little girl ?Madeleine? were second hand?  Hiding the Elites?  Bring them on, I say.

Do you really think startrites are only bought, and donated, by really rich people ? Really ?

Ah so you do read my posts....

Just don’t have the answers to the questions asked.

Portuguese police 'have only 22 more months to make their case against prime suspect Christian Brueckner' for the kidnap and murder of three-year-old Madeleine McCann before 15-year limit for prosecutions runs out

• Rogerio Alves said police have only 22 months left to arrest Christian Brueckner
• Said investigation 'still on time' even with 15-year prosecution limit in Portugal
• Madeleine went missing in 2007 from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz

By JEMMA CARR FOR MAILONLINE

Portuguese police have less than two years to make their case against Christian Brueckner for the kidnap and murder of three-year-old Madeleine McCann, her family's lawyer said.

Rogerio Alves said police have only 22 more months and 'time is getting short now' because of a 15-year statute of limitations for prosecutions in Portugal.

Speaking on McCann: The Hunt for the Prime Suspect on ITV, Alves said: 'We have a 15 years time barrier, even to manslaughter, to homicide, to certain sexual offences — and even to the most serious kind of kidnapping.

'So we are still on time. But time is getting short now.'

The show - set to air at 9pm on Thursday - also addresses the mistakes police made which potentially stopped Brueckner from being a known suspect earlier on.
