Christian Brueckner: To be or not to be

Christian Brueckner is now suspected of abducting and murdering Madeleine McCann

To give that one simple sentence any clout whatsoever, you first need to overcome these documented hurdles.

Portuguese Court Says Gerry And Kate McCann Haven't Been Proved Innocent

Judges from Portugal's Supreme Court have said that Kate and Gerry McCann have not been proven innocent over the disappearance of their daughter.

The couple were given 'arguido' - or formal suspect - status back in September 2007. This status was removed in July 2008, when Portuguese police archived their investigations.

However, judges announced yesterday that the lifting of the 'arguido status' should not be 'equated to proof of innocence'.

He will be able to buy an even bigger house by next year, perhaps he could call it Casa Madeleine.

Exactly.

SHAMELESS BOAST Madeleine McCann suspect brags cops don’t have ‘shred of evidence’ and ‘clutching at straws’ over links to 5 sex crimes

MADELEINE McCann chief suspect Christian B has bragged cops don’t have a “shred of evidence” to link him to FIVE other sex crimes.

The 44-year-old sex offender said the move was the latest sign of how investigators were “clutching at straws” for new leads to convict him.

Last year, the he was named as the prime suspect in the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine, who vanished from her family's holiday apartment in Portugal in 2007.

Prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters recently revealed the convicted paedophile is being investigated over an attack on a girl, 10, as well as the murder of a teenager, 16, in Belgium.

But a source told Sun Online that Christian B “is aware of the remarks and of the new allegations in this book. But he has been bragging how the police don’t have a shred of evidence”.

The source continued: “He says the new book about him is no better than a comic and that the decision by cops to contribute to it just proves how much they are clutching at straws for new leads.

“His legal team have repeatedly asked for the evidence which police say they have and they have repeatedly refused to hand it over. This, he believes, says it all.”

According to the source, the sex offender “remains insistent he has nothing to do with Maddie’s disappearance and believes police are simply courting publicity by continually linking him to the case”.

Christian B was left riled by an interview that Hans Christian Wolters gave in a new book called My Search for Madeleine.

Wolters used the book to make a string of new allegations against the jailed German paedophile.

Last Wolters has 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.

The incident took place  was six miles from where Madeleine vanished in Praia da Luz a month later, while on holiday with parents Kate and Gerry.

Mr Wolters said officers are also investigating Christian B over the killing of 16-year-old Carola Titze in De Haan, Belgium, in 1996,

He is also facing investigation over the rape of 20-year-old Irish woman Hazel Behan in Praia de Rocha, Portugal, in 2004.

And Wolters said his department had been called in by officers probing Christian B on suspicion of the disappearance of "German Maddie" - five-year-old Inga Gehricke - in 2015,

There are also claim 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 gave further details in My Search for Madeleine, by British journalist Jon Clarke.

Referring to the arrest in Messines, which led to Christian B 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 Hazel Behan, now 38, 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 Christian B has been linked to, including that of German boy Rene Hasse, six, who vanished from a beach in the Algarve in 1996.

Madeleine McCann suspect 'brags about how police don't have shred of evidence' linking him to FIVE other cases including rape and murder

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
But Bruekner, who is in prison in Germany, said the police were 'clutching at straws' to connect him to the crimes. He has denied involvement in McCann case

The prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has bragged about how police don't have a 'shred of evidence' linking him to at least five other cases including rape and murder.

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, German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said.

But Brueckner said the latest move by the authorities to connect him to the other cases was a sign of how police were 'clutching at straws for new leads' to convict him.

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.

A source told Sun Online that Brueckner 'is aware of the remarks and of the new allegations in this book. But he has been bragging how the police don't have a shred of evidence'.

The source added: 'He says the new book about him is no better than a comic and that the decision by cops to contribute to it just proves how much they are clutching at straws for new leads.

'His legal team have repeatedly asked for the evidence which police say they have and they have repeatedly refused to hand it over. This, he believes, says it all.'

The source also claimed Brueckner 'remains insistent he has nothing to do with Maddie's disappearance and believes police are simply courting publicity by continually linking him to the case'.

The comments come after Wolters told British journalist Jon Clarke in an interview for his book My Search for Madeleine: 'We are investigating Christian B's possible involvement in this.'

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 Haan, Belgium.

'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.

Brueckner is also a suspect in the rape case of 20-year-old Irish woman Hazel Behan 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.

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.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10052557/Madeleine-McCann-suspect-brags-police-dont-evidence-linking-cases.html

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.

Yawn !!!

Give it a rest for crying out loud.  This is about as tedious as the pandemic and has gone on almost as long.

I was expecting a media blitz following the announcement of Gonçalo Amaral's new book but this is not it, this is something else and conveniently connects to the Olive Press.

The German police are not investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, they have no authority so to do, nor do they have any evidence that the enigmatic Christian Brueckner has been involved in multiple crimes in the past.  It's all fabrication embellished by Herr Hitler aided and abetted by a circle of journalists and their connections.

It's crap - to use the vernacular!

The more I see of this charade, the more I believe Christian Brueckner does not exist but in name alone.  Images of the same mug looking like an apology for Stan Laurel tribute act and the one wearing what looks like a tea cosy - pull the other one.

Where did he come from, where is he now, who was he, who is he, why is he ....

The disappearance of Madeleine McCann is not the crime of the century, it's what goes on around it that is the true crime.  Media and politics go hand in hand, how to penetrate that firewall is the all important factor.

Quite so.

"You've got no evidence" is for a police officer a clear admission of guilt
and the wording is also critical
"incriminate them with regard to the DEATH . . ."
Gerry said it. Mitchell said it.
And then they talk about "killed her" and Murder . . 

No one else has ever used those words.

I don't believe for a second the authorities in Germany, Portugal or the UK, have a shred of evidence to connect the name Christian Brueckner with past crimes or the disappearance of Madeleine McCann - I have to agree with the words .... 'clutching at straws', the proverbial scapegoat.

The Mirror wrote:Madeleine McCann suspect brags cops 'have no evidence' over links to sex crimes

Who is this Christian Brueckner bragging to? He's reported to be in solitary confinement within a high security prison - did Jon Clarke of the Olive Press manage a special access pass to interview the man within the prison walls when on his Germanic jolly?

The Mirror wrote:Mr Wolters was quoted in My Search for Madeleine as saying there was a “good basis” to believe that he assaulted the ten-year-old.

A good basis ? Do those two words constitute some form of evidence, or is it only a reiteration of Wolter's previous.

If the German authorities have any evidence to suggest the name Christian Brueckner has been involved in a past crime or crimes, including Madeleine McCann's disappearance, they would have interviewed him before now. Not spent days/months/years dangling the carrot. Add to that, if the German authorities have reason to believe the name Christian Brueckner to be any way involved with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, that information should be passed to the Portuguese police .... full stop !!!

Hogwash!

CONFESSION FEARS Madeleine McCann’s parents break silence on suspect Christian B and reveal their fears if he doesn’t confess

THE parents of Madeleine McCann believe the prime suspect in their daughter’s disappearance will keep trying to evade justice and fear they may never know who snatched her.

It comes as Christian B continues to brag that cops don’t have a “shred of evidence” to link him to Maddie’s kidnap and presumed death plus five other sex crimes.

The convicted sex offender, 44, was first named as Maddie’s alleged abductor in a potentially significant breakthrough by British and German police in June last year.

But Christian B, who has recently been moved to a tougher prison dubbed "Germany's Alcatraz”, for a horrific rape and drugs offences, has still not been questioned about Maddie 16 months on.

A McCann family source told The Sun Online: “Police don’t tell us what’s going on, we’re in the dark because it's an ongoing investigation.

“But if it is him, and there’s no direct and conclusive evidence he may never say a word. He’s not saying a word now.

“He’s locked up for other crimes, so at least he’s in the best place - in jail.

“Portuguese police had looked at him before and last year they looked at him again. We don't know what this means but without a confession we may never know.

“We don't know what evidence police have.

“It may be, sadly, that we may never know what happened to Madeleine. But we hope to find out. We keep hoping after all these years.”

When prosecutors first named Christian B as a suspect Kate and Gerry released a statement supporting the appeal but didn't speak about him directly.

Three-year-old Maddie vanished from a holiday apartment in Portugal’s Praia da Luz in May 2007.

Her parents renowned cardiologist Gerry and ex GP Kate, who has now returned to work full time as doctor to help fight the coronavirus pandemic, cling onto a glimmer of hope the could still be alive.

The couple, both 53, from Rothley, Leicestershire, have vowed never to give up the search.

In May Maddie - remembered globally in an iconic last photo shortly before her fourth birthday - would have turned 18 and become an adult.

The family source told how Scotland Yard - under fire for failing to properly vet Sarah Everard’s jailed for life cop killer Wayne Couzens - had been “brilliant” in their Maddie investigation codenamed Operation Grange.

They said: “The Metropolitan Police have given us a lot of support, at times when their resources have been stretched, and for that we are very grateful. They have been brilliant.”

EXTRA FUNDING
The scaled down Maddie squad has been given nearly £350,000 extra cash to spend trying to nail their prime suspect.

The Sun Online recently reported that the Home Office had approved a Met Police request for extra funding into their hugely costly  £12.5 million inquiry.

The boost comes after Britain’s top cop Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick vowed her officers would continue the painstaking search “until there is nothing left to do.”

She said: "We are working closely with Portuguese authorities and the German authorities, and we will continue until there is nothing left to do.

“There is no funding issue at the moment. So far we have received support every time we have felt there was a line of inquiry to pursue to find out what happened to Madeleine.”

Ms Dick is now facing calls to resign in light of the Sarah Everard police shambles.

'NO EVIDENCE'
Maddie's chief suspect has recently bragged cops don’t have a “shred of evidence” to link him to the missing girl’s case and five other sex crimes.

He is now in solitary confinement at Olenburg prison, near Bremen, Germany.

But three forces - British, German and the original lead Portuguese lead investigator - have so far struggled to find any vital evidence yet to snare him.

German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters has insisted: “We have gathered new evidence that adds further to the case we are building against our main suspect.

"I’m afraid I cannot say what it is but it strengthens our work. It is not forensic but it is new circumstantial evidence which all adds to the working theory that he is the man responsible.”

During the summer Christian B, jailed for raping an elderly American tourist in Portugal - spoke out for the first time since he was named a suspect.

He wrote a letter slamming the investigation an “unbelievable scandal,” proclaiming his innocence and urging prosecutors leading the case to give up.

He accused them of "bringing shame" on the German legal system by making "scandalous" statements against him without bringing any charges.

In the astonishing outburst he said investigators should resign for "persecuting an innocent person."

Madeleine McCann’s parents ‘in the dark’ as prime suspect hasn’t been questioned

Madeleine McCann’s parents have reportedly expressed fears that if the man suspected of abducting their daughter does not confess, they may never get the answers they seek (Picture: Reuters)

Madeleine McCann’s parents said they fear they may never know what really happened to their daughter.

They have reportedly expressed fears that if the man suspected of abducting their daughter does not confess, they may never get the answers they seek.

Police named Christian Brueckner, a convicted sex offender, as the prime suspect for Madeleine’s disappearance in June last year.

The 44-year-old is currently serving time in a German prison for a number of sex and drug offences, but 16 months after being identified as a suspect he is yet to be questioned by police.

A family source told The Sun that the McCanns felt ‘in the dark’, adding: ‘Police don’t tell us what’s going on, we’re in the dark because it’s an ongoing investigation.

‘But if it is him, and there’s no direct and conclusive evidence he may never say a word. He’s not saying a word now.’

The family said they found some comfort in knowing Brueckner was already in prison, but there were growing doubts.

‘Portuguese police had looked at him before and last year they looked at him again. We don’t know what this means but without a confession, we may never know,’ the source added.

‘We don’t know what evidence police have.

‘It may be, sadly, that we may never know what happened to Madeleine. But we hope to find out. We keep hoping after all these years.’

When Brueckner was named as a suspect in the case. Kate and Gerry released a statement welcoming the development but did not directly reference him.

He has since allegedly bragged police ‘don’t have a shred of evidence’ on him, and were ‘clutching at straws’ by linking him to the case.

Madeleine disappeared from a ground-floor apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal’s Algarve during a family holiday in May 2007.

And 14 years on, the case is yet to be solved.

NEW EVIDENCE Madeleine McCann suspect Christian B could be charged by Christmas thanks to ‘strong new evidence’

Nick Pisa

21:00, 4 Oct 2021Updated: 21:53, 4 Oct 2021

PROSECUTORS claim to have “strong new evidence” on Madeleine McCann suspect Christian B — and could charge him over the case by Christmas.

The rapist, 44, was identified as the prime suspect by German authorities last year.


That's another fine mess you've gotten me into ....

They have been building a case against him since and officials are hopeful of bringing him to court by the end of the year.

Scotland Yard detectives — said to be initially sceptical of his involvement — are now also confident he is the man responsible for the 2007 disappearance.

German prosecutor Hans Christian Walters told The Sun: “We have strong new evidence against the suspect.

"The investigation is proceeding well and we hope to have an update soon.

“I cannot say when for certain but we are working very hard to solve this case and others where he is a suspect.”

Madeleine, from Leicestershire, vanished aged three from parents Kate and Gerry’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal.

Two years earlier, Christian B raped a 72-year-old American woman living nearby and is now in a German jail for the crime.

He is also being investigated in connection with a rape and indecent assaults that all took place in Praia da Luz when he lived there from 2002 to 2008.

An insider on the German investigation said: “The evidence is strong and puts him in the area where Madeleine vanished.

“It’s a question of time. We hope to bring charges against him for Madeleine and others.”

A British police source added: “The Germans are putting a strong case together and the pieces are coming together.”

A source close to Christian B’s legal team said: “Let’s see this evidence. We have our doubts.”

The Sun can also reveal a complaint by Christian B that he was attacked by prison guards in December has been dropped.



https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/16325603/madeleine-mccann-suspect-new-evidence/
....................

Around Christmas time last year the exact same report was published, only he would be charged before summer 2021, thanks to new strong evidence.

A source close to Christian B’s legal team said: “Let’s see this evidence. We have our doubts.”


Such as the evidence that Madeleine was Abducted, that someone entered, remained, and exited 5A between 2120 and 2135 on 3/5/7

It is THAT bit of evidence which is lacking.
Once that is established, they you can simply "Round up the usual suspects"

Nick Pisa wrote:Scotland Yard detectives — said to be initially sceptical of his involvement — are now also confident he is the man responsible for the 2007 disappearance.

That in itself is a very interesting statement.



Unless a world exclusive - like wot Jon Clarke of the Olive Press regularly produces *splutter*, this genre of report generally stems from a central source, a press agency, who distribute throughout the world of journalism. Individual reporters then put their own personal slant on the pool information.

Who feeds the information to the press agencies in the first place is a matter for conjecture.

They should perhaps be sceptical of his existence?

Silentscope wrote:Like Jon Clarke must now be sceptical that it was Madeleine in the VW Van outside the Tunnels restaurant in Alcossebre? Or that it was Brückner driving the Van seen by ‘Juan’ ?

But where are the pictures taken by the Witness?

Where are the Vehicle and the Holiday makers now?

All quiet on the Eastern front in Berlin…

Do they really exist?

Please be patient, I am sure that Uncle Tony Rickwood is working on them right now
