Helge Bushing And Manfred Seyferth

[Vertigo Swirl]

Maybe he was told to? I ask myself why he would even be remotely interested in the case of British child who went missing in Portugal many years before he made the call to OG, just as Tatschl was interested enough to pay close attention to the Netflix documentary about the same incident.
IIRC Busching's sentence was 7 years and he served about 2 years 5 months.

“ However, he did not appear in court and was arrested in 2015 in Thessaloniki when he had returned to Greece on vacation.
He was taken to court where he was sentenced to seven years and five months in prison”

He was probably interested in the case because a) he appears to have frequented Portugal at the time and b) information on a world famous case like this would certainly give in the most leverage with law enforcement.

Can you truly in your heart of hearts describe an individual who...

Burglarised houses.
Kept the details of two rapes secret, potentially endangering  more women.
Kept secret the confession of his friend that he had kidnapped Madeleine for 9 years, potentially putting more children at risk.
Trafficked individuals potentially to feed the sex and forced labour markets
Attacked a homeless person.
 
a reliable witness?

Of course this is only the crimes that we’re aware of.

Imagine if he’d gone to the police when Brueckner allegedly confessed to him how many years of suffering he would have spared Madeleine’s parents.

It really is beyond me how anyone, let alone law enforcement, can believe a word this degenerate says.

Interesting Greek document about Bushing’s calles to. Op Grange, state he contacted them anonymously in the first instance


Directorate of International Police Cooperation
SIRENE Department
(addresses and names and phone numbers follow)

Notification/Communication: 1) Directorate of Criminological Investigations 2) ΥΕΕΒΕ (CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT OF NORTHERN GREECE)
3) *possibly* Police station of Thessaloniki

Theme: Article 32 of Decision 2007/533 / JHA - MISSING PERSON - NATIONAL of UNITED KINGDOM McCann Madeleine, born 12/5/2003 - Registration by the Portuguese authorities

Athens, 18/7/2017 (18th of July 2017)
Electronic *trafficking?* for those ... who are connected to the POL network

To: 1) Initial Identity Search Branch (not sure how to translate this)
2) Thessaloniki Police Department
3) TA Omonia (Omonia Security Department)

1. We are letting you know that the minor in question is registered in SIS II under Article 32 (Measure for Missing Persons - Minors) by the Dutch authorities, as on 3/5/2007, at the age of four, she disappeared when she was on holiday with her parents at the tourist resort Praia da Luz in Portugal.
2. Following information we received from the Hellenic (Greek) Police Association in London, it is reported that the Metropolitan Police of London has submitted a request related to the "Grange" operation, which is active in gathering information and attempting to locate her, regarding the matter with the aforementioned minor.
3. More specifically, in May of this year a person who initially refused to disclose their identity, contacted the team of the Grange operation, but who afterwards admitted of being a German national and is named L***, born in 1971, and mentioned that he has information and would like to aid the British authorities in their searches. The one in question, who uses the no. 6*** mobile phone, stated that he lives in an area of Attica and that he was recently released after serving a sentence of 2 years and seven months for an offence he allegedly committed in 2011 - most likely a case of smuggling illegal immigrants. He further stated that he must report once a month to a police station (which he did not know to name but it is believed to be the Omonia Police Department) and that he has been barred from leaving the country. He also stated that in Greece he maintains friendly relations with a German citizen, about 60 years old. So far, the information he has given voluntarily and without any financial or other consideration to the Metropolitan Police regarding the case has been cross-checked and is considered a reliable source.
4. In order to fulfil (satisfy) the request of the London Metropolitan Police, please let us know of any available information which arises from the files kept by your Service.
5. The Services to which this document is notified are requested to be informed and to act competently and consequently inform us in this regard.
6. Please let your answers be communicated to the other recipients hereof for their information.

Wouldn't he have held more leverage if he'd provided details of the people traffickers he worked for?

Try not to get too emotional about it.  Clearly the police investigating his claims are treating him as a credible witness whether you approve or not.

I wasn’t aware he worked for anyone.

Very true. Looks like any port in a storm.

From the same Greek poster on Websleuths who provided the above translations

“I think I solved the mystery of HB getting out of prison so early. In 2015 new laws were introduced in Greece that enabled prisoners to be released earlier, as part of Article 12 "Emergency measures to decongest detention facilities"

" Prisoners who at the time of publication of this law serve a custodial sentence shall be released by order of the public prosecutor of the place of sentencing, as follows: a) if their sentence lasts up to three years, if they have in any way served one tenth of it, .... c) if Their imprisonment lasts for more than five years, provided that they have in any way served one-fifth of it."

The article also postulates that the public prosecutor decides on further restraining orders upon their release (as we saw with HB”

A description of Brückner from Bild in August last year

The man is described as follows: His face is pockmarked, he has smokers' teeth and chewed fingernails, scars on his right leg (thigh and hip), moles all over his body. Christian B. has blond, full hair, is 1.82 meters tall and slender. He speaks with the Franconian dialect and can speak Portuguese.

I’m wondering if the scarring on his thigh / hip might have been the mark referred to by the woman who was raped in Portugal (Hazel?)

In part 3 of the Discovery documentary Seyforth is asked if Busching might have had reward money in mind when he contacted Op Grange in 2017. His reply was that it wouldn't surprise him, as "he would sell his mother for money". (9:04)

It depends what other evidence Wolters has. I thought he came over quite confident in the documentary
