The known facts and the speculations featuring Brueckner, the prime suspect

[The General]

Carelessness. 

And the forensic person wasn't wearing any hair covering either.

Outside? Searching for prints?
But I take your point, there's probably a protocol she may / may not have followed.
Fair play to her though, she found those prints.

Equally, it could prove that the PJ did a botch job of collecting fingerprints.

Funny it happens only in this case, we're led to believe CB was convicted using an hair sample and there's supposed to be a partial print in the other rape case, although that is open to question it seems.

The PJ were not known for the care they took.  Fag Ash and Dog's Hairs all over the place.

It was careless of the GNR dog handler (having been woken up from his sleep at home to come and help to find a missing child) to take his dog into the apartment. I can only assume finding the child was seen as a priority at 2.30am on 4th May; she had been missing for over 4.5 hours by then.

What fag ash?

I assume no-one thinks the dog hairs fell off Brueckner's clothes.

Maybe the PJ botched those too?

How many Prints and whose were they?

Never assume - you know what that means don't you...

Hmmm, good question. How can we possibly obtain that information, I wonder?

[Brietta]

I have absolutely no idea what evidence there is available to the BKA concerning Brueckner - and that is precisely as it should be - but without a doubt it is compelling enough to make him the prime suspect in the murder of a three year old child.

Yes, anyone would think the BKA were just pretending CB was their prime suspect for no other reason than just to piss off McCann Bashers, so very defensive are the latter of the delightful paedo/rapist.

There was Fag Ash collected from the floor of Appartment 5a.  None of The Tapas people smoked, so it must have been from The Portuguese Police smoking inside The Crime Scene.

They however had already been On Duty, so perhaps they were tired.

[Brietta]

Just carelessness if you ask me.

"Slipshod" is the terminology I would use.  And that from start to finish which suited the powers that be in Portugal just fine.

Then in 2021 PANIC STATIONS!
Police circles became aware that the BKA and SY were actively pursuing leads which led them directly to Brueckner who they had been investigating over a period of some years.

In my opinion that fact wound Amaral up yet again when he heard about it necessitating another furore and yet another book to put matters straight.

[Eleanor]

I mean, would you believe it?  Some of the Forensics collected beggar belief.  There was even the finger print of a GNR Officer found on the back patio door.

What a shambles it all was.

you actually raised a good point.  Did the PJ simply assume the dog hairs arrived in the apartment owing to the presence of a police dog?  Could they have been brought into the apartment by another dog owner who had no reason to be in the apartment?  Were the hairs kept?  Could they be matched to a breed of dog?

The emergence of the BKA into the absolute centre of the inquiry into Madeleine's case most definitely upset Amaral to the extent of forcing him to break cover.

But attacking the BKA with nothing more substantial than a pack of lies was never going to work for anyone who has expounded one iota of common sense and who has compared Amaral's amateurish fabrication of the appearance of Brueckner with the reality of Brueckner as he actually was at the time of Madeleine's disappearance.

It was alleged by the media that;

Police failed to seal off the apartment as a crime scene, meaning vital samples were contaminated with ash from officers' cigarettes.

I can't find eny mention of this contamination in the files, however.
