Christian Brueckner: To be or not to be

Oh and by the way, the more discerning have been telling you since June 2020 that Christian Brueckner had nothing to do with Madeleine McCann's disappearance.

There is that rather annoying fact that keeps getting in the way .... 'no evidence of a break-in nor an abduction'.

Still, why let the truth stand in the way of a good story.

They never let facts get in the way of a good story.

Madeleine McCann suspect evaded police by ‘not being at home’

Monday August 23 2021, 5.00pm BST, The Times

The chief suspect in Madeleine McCann’s disappearance was not questioned by police at the time because he was not at home when detectives called, the former head of the investigation has indicated.

Christian Brückner was a fugitive German paedophile living in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz where the McCann family was on holiday in June 2007.

In a documentary to be screened on German television tomorrow night Goncalo Amaral, who led the initial Portuguese police investigation, tells the German newspaper Bild that officers had been aware of Brückner.

“When we didn’t suspect [Madeleine’s] parents, there was a list of paedophiles who lived in the area,” he said. “Brückner was on that list.

“People knocked on his door, but he wasn’t home.”

Brückner returned to Germany soon after Madeleine, three, vanished but was later traced using a mobile telephone close to the McCanns’ apartment on the night she disappeared.

He had fled to the Algarve from Germany in 1995 to avoid prosecution for child abuse offences. German police began investigating Brückner over Madeleine’s disappearance in 2019 after his conviction for raping a 72-year-old American woman near Praia da Luz in 2005, roughly 20 months before Madeleine went missing.

The former detective admitted his own failings in initially treating Madeleine’s disappearance “as if something had been stolen”. “The investigation should have been more comprehensive, like a murder: securing biological traces, fibres, hair,” he said. “That was a mistake.”

Amaral, 61, told Bild that Brückner “has nothing to do with Maddie’s disappearance”. He has previously claimed that Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, both 53, from Rothley, Leicestershire, were suspects.

“The German prosecutor should not keep claiming that he has something on Brückner,” he said. “Then charge him. Take him to court. And explain to me how someone broke into the flat without leaving fingerprints or traces of gloves. That way it only serves the construction, so people will say: what a monster this Brückner is.”

Yesterday Hans Christian Wolters, a German prosecutor involved in Bruckner’s case, criticised the “very time-consuming requests” for information from Portugal.

“We still do not wish to comment on Mr Amaral’s statements because we assume that [he] has no knowledge of the current state of the investigation and that his statements are therefore completely irrelevant to us,” he said.

“I do not believe there is the slightest hint of suspicion against the McCann parents. The investigations are still continuing. I do not want to give any details about exactly which investigations are currently taking place.

“Unfortunately, the investigations cannot be speeded up, in particular due to the mandatory but very time-consuming requests for legal assistance to Portugal.”

Friedrich Fülscher, Brückner’s lawyer, declined to comment, as did the McCanns.

Tch tch tch Mr Times, this just won't do !

No mention of the latest cartoon from Brückner.
No wonder why.

Judging by the comments in the mail online, people realise that there is no connection between him and poor Madeleine.

The above reports that there will be a Documentary shown on German TV are not entirely accurate.

The Documentary is only available on Cable pay per view Channels like TLC. NOT on National television.

One planned for August, and the next in September.

Even if German speakers in the U.K. wanted to watch it, it will most likely be geoblocked.

Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner mocks investigators with cartoon showing them turning to a clairvoyant for evidence against him

The prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has released a twisted cartoon in which he mocks the German investigators who want him behind bars.

Convicted paedophile and rapist Christian Brueckner, 44, is currently being held in a high security prison in Oldenburg, near Bremen in northern Germany.

Investigators believe he abducted and killed three-year-old Madeleine in Portugal in 2007.

In the cartoon the chief public prosecutor, Hans Wolters, wearing a black legal gown and brandishing a five euros note, desperately whispers 'is there anything new?' to a person in sitting behind a blue curtain with crystal ball.

Security is supposedly so tight at the JVA Oldenburg prison that it is locally dubbed 'Alcatraz of the North', but Brueckner has somehow managed to leak his sketches to the press.


In Brueckner's cartoon obtained by German newspaper BILD, the convicted paedophile taunts the public prosecution office with a drawing of the chief prosecutor consulting a clairvoyant for evidence. Brueckner is pictured in the bottom right, looking on bemused

The cartoon is believed to refer to the German clairvoyant Michael Schneider, who provided the German investigators and the BKA, Germany's FBI, with co-ordinates of where he believes Madeleine is buried in Portugal.

Brueckner even included a small drawing of himself in the cartoon as a blonde-haired onlooker seemingly bemused by what he sees in front of him, while the rest of the courtroom sleeps soundly at their desks.

This cartoon comes two months after Brueckner released his first sketch in May, claiming his innocence in the case while depicting two prosecutors in a restaurant ordering the 'filet forensics'.

Despite having been a suspect for years, the public prosecution office have still not officially brought the case to court and are still gathering evidence against Brueckner, who has still never been questioned or charged in relation to the McCann case.

Three-year-old Madeleine McCann vanished from a holiday apartment in Portugal's Praia da Luz on May 3, 2007.

Her parents Kate and Gerry had put her and her siblings to bed in the flat before meeting friends for dinner at a nearby tapas restaurant.

Brueckner was living in a camper van near Praia da Luz at the time of the disappearance.

Last June, German and UK police revealed Brueckner as a suspect after first becoming aware of his potential connection to the case in 2017, but he has not yet been interrogated by police.

He is currently serving seven years in prison for raping an elderly woman in Praia da Luz, the same area where Madeleine McCann disappeared, and is also being investigated for allegedly exposing himself in a playground while children were present.

Brueckner's first cartoon was published in May but released to press in June, along with a letter which read: 'Charging an accused is one thing. It is something completely different, namely an unbelievable scandal, when a public prosecutor starts a public pre-judgement campaign before the main proceedings are opened.

'Freedom of expression is not a basic right so that everyone can say and write what they want. Freedom of expression does not protect the majority.

'It protects the minority. It does not protect the most logical, most convincing or most popular views, but rather the outsider position.

'I call on the Brunswick public prosecutors Wolters and Lindemann to resign from their offices.'

Chief prosecutor Wolters said: 'I never said we couldn't charge him. We have no pressure at the moment. As it looks, he'll be in custody for the next few years.

'That means he's not going to run away from us. We will take the time we need.'

Wolters added that the situation is 'a two-way street', and that Brueckner has thus far taken no action to exonerate himself by reaching out to the prosecution.

'He knows that we are investigating him. He can contact us at any time.'

When contacted, Brueckner's lawyer, Friedrich Fülscher in the northern port town of Kiel, declined to comment.

Investigators have interviewed a number of potential witnesses in Germany and Portugal, including Brueckner's British ex-girlfriend, who claims he assaulted her.

Wolters, who believes Madeleine is dead, said authorities have not spoken to her parents Kate and Gerry McCann.

The McCanns said in May they 'hang on to hope, however small' that they will see their daughter again as they marked the 14th anniversary of her disappearance.

In a message shared online, they noted that this year's anniversary was even more poignant because it would have been their daughter's 18th birthday.

The message, which was shared on the Find Madeleine website, read: 'Every May is tough – a reminder of years passed, of years together lost, or stolen.

'This year it is particularly poignant as we should be celebrating Madeleine's 18th birthday. Enough said.'

I really do not understand why the Agenda seems to have changed back to the Original ‘it was Brückner’ when the Mark Williams-Thomas Channel 5 production involving two Russian brothers is still going ahead?

MADELEINE MCCANN: FRESH LEAD POINTS TO TWO RUSSIANS
02 August 2021

A new three-part documentary investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is to be aired later this year on Channel 5 on UK television. It claims that prime suspect, Christian B, may have had nothing to do with the childs disappearance, and instead reportedly looks at a fresh lead involving two Russians.
Police investigating the ongoing case of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance have seemed almost convinced that Christian B istheir man and just needed to gather evidence. He is currently behind bars for drug offenses and other charges related to the rape of a 72-year-old woman. However, Christian B has condemned claims by German investigators that he is the prime suspect in the girl’s disappearance. In a letter to the German media, he criticised the prosecution for “pursuing an innocent person.”
But now a television documentary is poking holes in the investigations, led by an ex-police detective.  The documentary is reported to speak to new witnesses and expose theories claiming that the suspect was not involved in the disappearance at all. 
For now, the police maintain that Christian B is their man and claim to have evidence to back up the claim. “We have gathered new evidence that adds to the case we are building against our main suspect,” authorities said in a statement. “We are still building the case and at some point in the future we will share the details with the suspect and his attorney, but now is not the time. I cannot reveal the type of evidence that we have been given, it is not forensic, I can tell you that, but it’s new circumstantial evidence adding to the working theory that he’s the man responsible. “
Despite this evidence and the discovery of new clues in the Algarve region of Portugal related to Christian B, the new documentary argues that he is not the person behind the crime. Telephone records also reportedly placed him at the place of disappearance on the night of McCann’s disappearance. 
Since McCann’s disappearance in 2007, the search for the young woman and her parents’ efforts to find her alive have captivated people across Europe. Earlier this month police were given an extra £350,000 to try and find the culprit over the disappearance. A Home Office spokesperson said: "The Government has provided up to £350,000 for Operation Grange in 2021-22. "In line with our Special Grant processes, funding for Operation Grange is approved on an annual basis. Ministers have approved a request for £349,328 of funding for this financial year.”

There is no Agenda - with or without a capital A, why should you think there is an Agenda?

The Discovery+ documentary was always destined to be aired in Germany, as I posted weeks ago and up-page, only today #984..



It's got nothing to do with Mark Williams-Thomas.

Ex Madeleine McCann cop blames parents for disappearance, says Christian B is innocent
'The main culprits for the disappearance are those who had custody: the parents,' Goncalo Amaral has said

The ex-cop who led the Madeleine McCann investigation before being fired has reportedly blamed her parents for her disappearance. He has also claimed the main suspect is innocent. As one of the most heavily reported missing-person cases in modern history, McCann’s story is one almost everyone has heard about. Less than two weeks shy of turning four, McCann disappeared on the evening of May 3, 2007 from her bed in a holiday apartment at a resort in Praia da Luz, in the Algarve region of Portugal.

In June 2020, it was reported that German prosecutors, who are investigating the disappearance of the British girl, believed she was dead, and a 43-year-old German man called Christian B was being investigated on suspicion of her murder. He was believed to have been in the area where McCann was last seen. Hans Christian Wolters, from the Braunschweig Public Prosecutor's Office in Germany, said at the time, "We are assuming that the girl is dead. With the suspect, we are talking about a sexual predator who has already been convicted of crimes against little girls and he's already serving a long sentence."

Who is Goncalo Amaral?

Amaral is an infamous name in the Madeleine McCann case. In 2018, it was reported that Amaral made £350,000 (USD 479,336) from a book that was published on the case in which the missing child's parents were slandered. Amaral, the retired police chief in Portugal, wrote a book on the case titled ‘Maddie: The Truth About The Lie”. 


Amaral claimed in the book that the girl died in an accident at the family's holiday apartment in Algarve in 2007, and that her parents covered up the crime. Kate and Gerry McCann sued Amaral at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg to stop him from making money on the disappearance of their child.
According to a new report in The Sun, Amaral, who was removed as head of the investigation after criticizing British detectives and claiming they were only following leads the McCanns asked them to pursue, has now claimed that Christian B had "nothing to do with the disappearance" in an interview with BILD -- a German tabloid -- for the documentary, ‘The Maddie McCann Case’.




"It wouldn't be the first time a case has been solved by constructing a suspect," he said. "The main culprits for the disappearance are those who had custody: the parents. The German public prosecutor shouldn't keep saying that he has something against (Christian B) in his hand.”


"Then accuse him. Take him to court. And explain to me how someone broke into the apartment without leaving fingerprints or gloves,” he said, adding the wild claim, "To this day I have no doubt that a kidnapping was only simulated. The signs of this: a window that no one could tell for sure whether it was open or closed. We were told that the alleged kidnapper climbed in and out of there. There were fingerprints of the mother showing that she opened the window. They were the only ones that were found."


Wolters has dismissed Amaral's claims, branding them "completely irrelevant". He said, "We are not interested in the opinion of a Portuguese ex-police officer. We assume that he does not have our files. Therefore, his conclusions are completely irrelevant."

Who does this bloke think he is?  Goncalo has his own files.

I would love to see G Amaral and Wolters compare files, it's always mentioned G Amaral making money out of Madeleine, never a wrong word is said about the McCann's and the money the public donated.
Every report is biased in favour of the McCanns 

To brand a senior police officers claims as irrelevant is unprofessional to say the least, you would think they would be falling over themselves to speak to someone who was actually in charge of the case.

The injured party is G Amaral and Brueckner is a patsy.

If they really wanted to get anywhere near to solving what happened to Madeleine they would share their information with G Amaral and Brueckner would be illiminated once and for all.

It's not about personalities, it's about Madeleine.

Gonçalo's new book is apparently being published in October.

Bring it on!
