Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner is being investigated on suspicion of at least FIVE other sex crimes, prosecutors have revealed.

Hans Christian Wolters, who last year named Brueckner as the prime suspect in Madeleine’s disappearance, said detectives believe “there is a good basis” to suspect the German paedophile also carried out a sex assault on a girl of 10.

The victim was grabbed by a naked man, who performed a sex act.

This was six miles from where Maddie, three, vanished in Praia da Luz a month later in 2007, while on holiday with parents Kate and Gerry.

Mr Wolters said officers are also investigating Brueckner, 44, over the killing of 16-year-old Carola Titze in De Haan, Belgium, in 1996, and the rape of a 20-year-old Irish woman in Praia de Rocha, Portugal, in 2004.

And he said his department had been called in by officers probing Brueckner on suspicion of the disappearance of “German Maddie” – five-year-old Inga Gehricke – in 2015, as well as claims he carried out a sex act in front of children in a playground in Messines, 40 miles from Praia da Luz, in 2017.

Mr Wolters speaks in a new book My Search for ­Madeleine, by British journalist Jon Clarke.

Referring to the arrest in Messines, which led to Brueckner being ­extradited to Germany, he says : “We have now picked up the investigation and he is facing several years in prison.”

Asked about the case of the 10-year-old German girl on an Algarve beach in 2007, he said: “We are investigating Christian B’s possible ­involvement in this.”

On the Irish woman, Mr Wolters said: “We only have Christian B as the suspect.”

And on Carola Titze, he said: “A Belgian prosecutor had some concrete questions about Carola not long ago. They needed some information about Christian B and we gave it to them.”

He declined to comment on other cases Brueckner has been linked to, including that of German boy Rene Hasse, six, who vanished from a beach in the Algarve in 1996.

And so more of the same.  We've been this way so many times before, why do the tabloid press continue to make such fools of themselves in defence of team McCann?  Because that's exactly what it boils down to.



Madeleine McCann prime suspect probed over five other unsolved sex attacks

Christian Brueckner is believed to be responsible for a number of crimes still being investigated by cops.

Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner is being investigated on suspicion of at least five other sex crimes, prosecutors have revealed.

Hans Christian Wolters, who last year named Brueckner as the prime suspect in Madeleine's disappearance, said detectives believe "there is a good basis" to suspect the German paedophile also carried out a sex assault on a girl aged 10.

Wolters said officers are also investigating Brueckner, 44, over the killing of 16-year-old Carola Titze in 1996 and the rape of Irish woman Hazel Behan in 2004.

He said his department had been called in by officers probing Brueckner on suspicion of the disappearance of “German Maddie” –
five-year-old Inga Gehricke – in 2015, as well as claims he carried out a sex act in front of children in a playground in Messines, 40 miles from Praia da Luz, in 2017.

Brueckner's in town, lock-up your sons and daughters, your brothers and sisters, your mothers and fathers, your uncles and aunts, your grandfathers and grandmothers, your great grandfathers and great grandmothers.

Now here's a radical idea ....

When and only then, some incontrovertible evidence comes to light that directly links Christian Brueckner to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, then and only then the man becomes a relevance, so then and only then bring it on!

Bear in mind any such evidence must take into account the fact there is no evidence to suggest Madeleine McCann was abducted - in fact take into consideration the entire documented Portuguese police investigation, active between early May 2007 and archived just over one year later.

Until such times  !!!

I thoroughly endorse the wisdom of your suggestion that until we hear of incontrovertible evidence which directly links Christian Brueckner to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, then we should just wait for that evidence.


The British Media and its seeming to ignore much stronger evidence as researched by CMOMM Members is shamefully just seeking to survive.

New evidence in Madeleine McCann's disappearance suggests her suspected killer didn't act alone

By Sammi Taylor|A year ago

New evidence in the case of missing British girl Madeleine McCann suggests that her suspected killer didn't act alone and could have been aided by an "insider" the night she disappeared.

Experts told 60 Minutes reporter Liz Hayes they now believe Madeleine's suspected killer – convicted rapist Christian Brückner – was assisted by someone who may have been at the tapas bar where Kate and Gerry McCann dined the night their daughter was taken.

"Christian Brückner couldn't have acted alone," Portuguese TV journalist Sandra Felgueiras told 60 Minutes.

"I think that someone must have been implicated. It's very difficult to understand he could have done this by himself."

The smoking gun evidence was first uncovered by German police who traced a mobile phone number to someone with a criminal record for child sex offences in their country.

The number belonged to Brückner, and buried in his mobile data was a call that linked him to the missing child.

That call on May 3, 2007 was triangulated by police to have been made near the scene of Madeleine's abduction — the Ocean Club in Praia Da Luz.

"We know that the phone number, which was used by our suspect on the 3rd of May, 2007, was connecting in the mast [that] belongs to the Ocean Club in Praia Da Luz," German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters told Hayes.

But Felgueiras now believes the call is evidence not only of Brückner's involvement in Madeleine's disappearance but also that he was working with an accomplice.

"That was the phone call that he was doing to someone that helped him that night," Felgueiras told 60 Minutes.

There has always been speculation that an insider at the tapas bar where the McCanns were having dinner tipped off Maddie's abductor.

In their reservation entry, it was noted the McCanns wanted to eat "close to their apartment" as they were "leaving their young children alone".

"I think that this is the strongest lead I've ever seen since the first beginning of this investigation," Felgueiras said.

In June, German authorities formally announced they were investigating 43-year-old Brückner — currently in a German prison for the rape of a 72-year-old woman — in the disappearance and killing of Madeleine.

"We have strong evidence that Madeleine McCann is dead and that our suspect killed her, but I'm not allowed and I'm not able at the moment to tell you all the details of our evidence," Mr Wolters told 60 Minutes.

In recent weeks, police in Germany and Portugal have searched sites where Brückner is known to have operated.

Along with the phone call that police believe places Brückner near the scene of the crime, even more damning evidence was found in 8000 videos they unearthed in Brückner's desolate hideaway in Germany.

"[Christian Brückner] was into child pornography and torture and he did crimes against children at a very early age and according to the current information, he also filmed his offences," criminal profiler Mark Hofmann said.

The content of the videos or if they contain images of Madeleine has not been revealed by German authorities.

"At the moment, I'm not allowed to say if there are pictures or if there are no pictures of Madeleine," Mr Wolters told 60 Minutes.

Mr Wolters and his team, in cooperation with Portuguese police, are continuing to build their case against Brückner.

There is hope that soon there may be an answer for Madeleine's parents about what really happened to the innocent angel taken by a monster.

Madeleine McCann suspect is being investigated over FIVE other cases including rape and murder, German prosecutor reveals

   Hans Christian Wolters told a new book that Christian Brueckner is being investigated in relation to several German, Belgian and Portuguese cases

   One involves the attack of a girl, 10, just six miles from where Madeleine went missing, one month before the girl's attack
   Another, is the murder of 16-year-old Carola Titze in De Hana, Belgium, in 1996
   Brueckner, who is in prison in Germany, has denied involvement in McCann case

The prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case is being probed over at least five other sex crimes.

German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said convicted paedophile and rapist Christian Brueckner, 44, is being investigated over several other attacks, including on a 10-year-old girl, as well as the murder of a teenager in Belgium.

Brueckner 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 a new book, Wolters said German police felt 'there is good basis' to suspect Brueckner is responsible for a sex attack on a 10-year-old girl.

The attack happened just six miles from Praia da Luz where Madeleine had disappeared one month earlier.

'We are investigating Christian B's possible ­involvement in this,' Wolters told British journalist Jon Clarke for his book My Search for Madeleine.

The lawyer said that Belgian investigators are also looking into Brueckner in relation to the 1996 killing of 16-year-old Carola Titze in De Hana.

Brueckner is also a suspect in the rape case of a 20-year-old woman in Praia de Rocha, Portugal, in 2004.  

'We only have Christian B as the suspect,' Wolters said.

In it the book, the German prosecutor said authorities were also considering whether Brueckner could have been involved in the disappearance of five-year-old Inga Gehricke - dubbed the 'German Maddie' - in 2015.

'A Belgian prosecutor had some concrete questions about Carola not long ago. They needed some information about Christian B and we gave it to them,' he said.

The final case Wolters revealed Brueckner was being investigated in relation to was an incident at a children's playground in Messines, 40 miles from Praia de Luz, in 2017.

A man was accused of carrying out a sex act in front of children, according to Wolters, who added: 'We have now picked up the investigation and he is facing several years in prison.'    

Brueckner has denied any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance.

The disappearance of Madeleine McCann

Madeleine McCann, known as Maddie, disappeared from a holiday apartment in Portugal's Praia da Luz on May 3, 2007.

She was on holiday with her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann; her two-year-old twin siblings; and a group of family friends and their children.

She and the twins had been left asleep at the apartment, while the McCanns and friends dined in a restaurant 55 metres (180 ft) away.

The parents checked on the children throughout the evening, until Kate discovered she was missing at 10pm.

What followed is widely regarded as one of the most reported on missing person investigations in the world.

Portuguese authorities closed their enquiries in July 2008 but Maddie's parents continued with private detectives.

Scotland Yard launched their own investigation - Operation Grange - in 2011 and enquiries are ongoing.

For someone so guarded before the camera, Herr Wolters sure bared his soul to Meester Jon Clarke, he of the Olive Press.

Maybe he's very persuasive - or maybe he's just got one of those faces..

Madeleine McCann: Christian Brueckner’s ex says he abused her 5-year-old daughter and took photos during act

Published
 9 seconds ago on 14/09/2021

An ex-girlfriend of Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner has opened up for the first time about her experience of living with the pedophile. The woman, 35, revealed that she had been living in fear of his release from prison after serving a sentence for sexually assaulting her daughter who was 5 at the time. The woman and Brueckner had been in a relationship for around nine months.

The woman and her daughter had lived in his apartment for a while which was beside the kiosk he worked at in Braunschweig in Germany, Daily Mail reports. It is said that Brueckner had assaulted the child who had blonde hair similar to Madeleine in a public park. He had also taken pictures of the child and saved it on a memory card.

Brueckner is the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Madeleine vanished at the age of 3 while she was on a vacation with her parents at a Portuguese resort in May 2007 and has not been seen since. 

Brueckner’s former girlfriend shared, “I am scared because it was this trial that put him in jail. I don’t want him to come out of jail,” adding that he had only received a 15 month-long prison sentence for his crimes. The woman cannot be identified for legal reasons. She also claimed that Brueckner had repeatedly assaulted her daughter and would also be violent towards her. She shared, “he hit me when he was drunk or in a foul mood. He was very aggressive.” She added that she had reported Brueckner to the police for the abuse of her daughter and also provided a written statement that was given to prosecutors.

“I believe he abused my daughter on three occasions, but the police only charged him for the one occasion because they had photos of the abuse,” the woman said. She also says it is possible that Brueckner had abused other children in the same area as a number of parents had a habit of entrusting him with their children. “I am sure he abused other children. Some parents used to leave their kids with him, especially those parents on welfare,” she continued. The accused had initially been investigated by the authorities for sexually abusing the five-year-old child in 2014. 

When the police raided his apartment, they found a digital camera with at least 391 sickening pictures and 68 videos of the abuse taking place. The same camera also consisted of five pictures of Brueckner abusing the child in a Braunschweig Park. The authorities revealed that the images had been taken in 2013 which was around the same time that Brueckner’s name came on the radar of German investigators who were looking into the disappearance of Madeleine. Brueckner, 43, is currently serving a seven-year jail term for raping an American woman, 72, in Praia da Luz, Portugal. He is housed at the Kiel Jail in northern Germany. He is now the prime suspect in Madeleine’s disappearance from 13 years ago.

In the 13 years since the incident, the case has been dubbed as the “most heavily-reported missing person case in modern history” with many persons emerging as suspects in the case but left after their trails drew no conclusion.

https://sanelinews.com/madeleine-mccann-christian-brueckners-ex-says-he-abused-her-5-year-old-daughter-and-took-photos-during-act/

If this woman thinks that Brueckner abused her daughter 3 times, why did she not protect the child after the first offence? Why let a second offence take place?

If she was being beaten by Brueckner, why did she allow the child to stay in such a hostile environment?

Why can this woman not be named for legal reasons? How many 35 year old girlfriends wit 5 year old daughters with blonde hair did Brueckner have in 2014? It shouldnt be too difficult for him to work out who this is, that's assuming the witness actually exists.

And how manipulative is this article, stating that the child was like Madeleine McCann?

Time and time again we are treated to reports about Bruckner's past criminal shenanigans, from drug dealing to rape to child molestation to nicking diesel to burglary but I've yet to see any evidence of these allegations.

So far I've seen scanned or copied or created, call it what you will,  documentation that is quite frankly meaningless.  One such example being during the introduction and later in the video by the voice of Sandra Felgueiras during the Discovery+ Madeleine McCann Case documentary, a scrap of sepia paper with essential information - like names, redacted! Then of course international media/tabloid press - about as reliable as the No. 49 bus from Tooting Broadway to Clapham Junction.

The blokes criminal record is increasing by the day - I don't believe a word of it.

If anyone's watched the Discovery+ documentary, the mother of the playground child - so traumatized by Brueckner flashing was she, the woman is so unconvincing.  I think I posted screenshots up-thread ages ago.



Still, it's having the desired effect, aided and abetted by an anonymous force haunting social media.... 'distraction'!

Keep Brueckner in focus and forget the rest.

Did Jon Clarke mention this in his "tirelessly researched" bewk about Christian Brueckner?

I don't believe a word of it, either. I won't be surprised if Bruckner is accused of kidnapping Shergar.

Was he driving a white Fiat in a Paris underpass?  

Bernard Piro bought the VW from Brueckner in 2015 for  £5,000.

Really? Why would a German buy a used car, from another German, in Portugal, for UK 5000 pounds? Such a nice round number and hint, they use the Euro in Portugal (and Germany). Me thinks that the British journalist/story writer has once again not fact checked their article
Next thing in part 2  we will hear that it had X hundred thousand MILES on the clock; from drug running, concealing kids etc
Was this article ghost written by Jon Clarke from 'Proves Lies', sorry the Olive press?

If you follow the Brueckner trail very closely it becomes very clear the overriding factor leads back to discrediting, disgracing, Gonçalo Amaral and the Portuguese investigation into the disappearance of little Madeleine McCann.

Remember her anyone?

Stories of a botched investigation. publication of books authored by ex-police officers, internal corruption, so on and so forth - all leads back to the same thing, discredit the Portuguese.

So here we have Christian Brueckner, the latest in a long line of convenient suspects promoted by the media and associated sources.  A misnomer who has found international stardom through a string of unreliable sources who totally lack the one all important fundamental ingredient .... evidence!

The Christian Brueckner story, for that it be, is based on nothing but second/third/fourth hand information.  Rumour, speculation, misinformation, dodgy witnesses, media reports and dubious documentaries featuring much the same bit part players.  The internet super-sleuthers who spend hours poring over available false information, who seemingly strive to keep Brueckner alive and kicking, exhibit a thin veil of deception - the overriding will to destroy the reputation of Gonçalo Amaral and the Portuguese police in general.

I speak not of Jon Clarke of the Olive Press specifically, he is but another bit player trying to capitalize on that ever bountiful name .... Madeleine McCann. How many more to add to the ever growing list of charlatans who claim to work only in the name of justice?

Again if you follow the trail, there is not a scrap of evidence to substantiate the many allegations about Brueckner's past and present.  It's a false trail, purposely mapped out to deceive and distract.

Think about it, the only people to benefit by this prolonged Brueckner saga are Gerry and Kate McCann and their group of holiday friends, they only need sit back and watch the foray.  Just as they did when the Netflix documentary was premiered and the Discovery+ was premiered and now some half-baked German tabloid documentary.

It all leads back to the same thing .... discredit Gonçalo Amaral and the Portuguese police investigation.

It matters not one iota what Brueckner did or where he went or who he met before, during and after Madeleine McCann's disappearance, fact remains every little detail the super-sleuthers are examining stem from rumour, speculation, dodgy witnesses and media reports.

There is no evidence to indicate abduction, burglary, or Christain Brueckner's involvement at any stage so why is his story still being promoted by mainstream and social media?  Why of course, protect team McCann and thus destroy the reputation of Gonçalo Amaral and the Portuguese police investigation.

Even more curious - why is it being promoted here on CMOMM.  What is the motive?

If you think I'm wrong, do your own research!

You tell us, you're the one who started the thread.

That aside, in my opinion this cover up needs to be seen through to the very end and clearly CB looks to be part of it.

I will post-up any media report that names Madeleine McCann, be it nonsense, factual or debatable. I like to think here on CMOMM we are carrying forth Nigel Moore's legacy - documenting all news reports on the case of Madeleine McCann.

My point is, as I thought I adequately explained, it serves no purpose poring over un-evidenced detail circulated by the media (in particular the tabloid press) and internet super-sleuths.

There have been any number of suspects identified along the way, with particular emphasis on paedophilia - Raymond Hewlett springs to mind, unresolved dead and buried. They come and they go!

If it turns out Christian Brueckner is in any way part of the Madeleine McCann conspiracy then bring it on - when the time comes, as and when.

To add, in the process of violating the name of Gonçalo Amaral, much is being made of his comment on camera to the effect, when the PJ called at Christian Brueckner's residence he wasn't at home.  They left it there!

Translation of course!

The PJ files go into great detail about their investigation into the paedophile network operating in Portugal and internationally that have links to Portugal.  If there was any reason to suspect a person named Christian Brueckner, the PJ would have investigated accordingly.  

If they didn't pursue any particular person there was a reason they didn't.  The most likely reason being Christian Brueckner, if he even exists, was not considered to be a suspect.

Funny that, when you think about all the money the McCann Fund splashed out on private detectives.  You'd think one of them would have unearthed the enigmatic Christian Brueckner.

Wouldn't you?

Madeleine McCann suspect who attacked his rape victim with sword should be taken to court over her disappearance say relatives

Christian Brueckner is now suspected of abducting and murdering Madeleine McCann

ByPatrick Hill
Tom MackSenior Reporter

12:45, 19 SEP 2021

A man suspected of killing Madeleine McCann attacked a 72-year-old woman with a sword and raped her before escaping justice for 12 years.

Relatives of the woman raped by Christian Brueckner have spoken about the incident and said he must face court over the Rothley girl’s disappearance.

The Mirror reported that Brueckner, 44, is behind bars for offences including the 2005 rape of an American widow in Praia da Luz – the Algarve resort where Madeleine vanished two years later.

Now, in a new book about Madeleine, the victim’s nephew says the family believe Brueckner was involved in the youngster going missing while on holiday in Portugal.

The nephew said: “When we discovered that this man was also being probed over that poor girl Madeleine McCann, it completely stunned us.

“In fact, it made us wonder just how many victims he could have had. I really hope that they can catch him on that and prevent him from ever getting out again.”

He said Brueckner invaded his aunt's home wearing a balaclava and attacked her with a sword in the 15-minute assault.

He evaded justice for 12 years for the attack until two former friends reported him to police, claiming they had discovered disturbing footage he had kept. The footage was never recovered.

DNA taken from a hair at the scene helped convict Brueckner and he eventually got seven years in jail.

Prosecutors in his native Germany are now investigating him on suspicion of being involved in Madeline’s disappearance and fear he could be behind at least five other sex crimes, including a sex assault on a girl of 10.

The rape victim’s nephew spoke in My Search for Madeleine, a new book on the case by ­journalist Jon Clarke. The nephew, who lives in the US, added: “It was a horrible attack, which definitely had an effect on her.”

The aunt, a retired journalist, died in March after rebuilding her life, including resuming her passion for global travel. Her nephew added: “She did not want it to ruin her life – she carried on as best she could. She wanted to move on.”

Madeleine was days short of her fourth birthday when she was taken from an apartment while on holiday with her younger twin siblings and doctor parents Kate and Gerry, from Rothley.

It was May 2007 and Brueckner, a convicted paedophile, thief and drug dealer, was living nearby at the time. He returned to Germany but it later emerged that he had used a mobile phone close to the holiday flats complex the night Madeleine vanished.

German prosecutors are compiling evidence against Brueckner – their only suspect – and fear Madeleine has been murdered.

His lawyers say they are waiting to be presented with any evidence of his alleged involvement.

:en garde:

Still no evidence, just more media tosh. Much the same information has been circulating for about fifteen months, it gets juggled about a bit from one source to another, proof in itself that it's nothing but nonsense.

There is a syndicate of journalists - international I venture to suggest, involved with the propagation of false and misleading information as regards the case of missing Madeleine McCann . Jon Clarke's book names and/or acknowledges specific people, all whom have written for newspapers and been involved with the more recent flux of documentaries - Patrick Hill, co-author of this report ^^^ being one such individual.
