Repeating it doesn’t make it any truer.
There was 15 months between Amaral speaking about a German scapegoat and Brueckner being named. Brueckner’s name wasn’t mentioned until after Wolter’s appeal for information, 15 months after MS’s podcast and after the media had used the information released by Wolter to find out his name.
I’m really not sure why you’re flogging this dead horse but I do wish you’d stop...you are convincing no one.
Long before we heard Brueckner's name or knew the German police suspected him in Madeleine's disappearance Amaral was scuttling from Podcast to TV Studio to make sure he got his message across.
It is a fact he did so the only puzzlement is WHY he did so.

The ex-cop sparked speculation Hamburg-born child strangler Ney was the prime suspect after telling an Australian podcast earlier this year investigators were focusing on a German paedophile in prison.
He failed to identify Ney by name at the time, describing the suspect only as someone who had been ruled out of the investigation into the missing British youngster in 2008 but later jailed in his home country.
Now Amaral, the original lead investigator in the case, has fuelled new speculation about his identity by telling a Spanish TV programme: 'A paedophile who is German and serving life for killing children has been spoken about.
'What I know is that the suspect is not him, it's another man. He's also in prison in Germany. He's also a paedophile.
'Years later, many years later, it appears that in an Internet chatroom there is a conversation between that person and another person where they talk about Madeleine.'
He responded: 'It can't be him' when he was shown a photo of Ney before adding in a false and vile jibe at Madeleine McCann's father: 'I'll say something else, the kidnapper is similar, very similar, to Gerry McCann' before pointing at the photo he had been shown of Martin Ney and adding: 'That man is not similar to Gerry McCann.'
Martin Ney's name emerged after Mr Amaral told an Australian podcast: 'They are preparing the end of the investigation, with a German paedophile who is in prison right now.
'I don't know how they will start it, but that will be the big ending, if it ends.'
He did not identify the mystery German at the time, although Correio da Manha went on to claim Ney was not the suspect.
