From my own Research these revelations were made by Herr Wolters to an RTL REPORTER not JC. Note the timing.

Re: Christian Brueckner: To be or not to be
A man who gave information to detectives investigating a gangland killing has been awarded £134,000 in compensation after police mistakenly gave his name to the suspects' lawyers.
In what is thought to be the first case of its kind, the high court in Sheffield ordered Greater Manchester police to pay the damages to Ken Ralphs for failing to keep his identity secret.
Mr Ralphs, 39, and his partner, Hazel Kerrigan, 56, were forced to enter the witness protection programme, adopting new identities and fleeing their home in Stockport, Greater Manchester, after they received death threats written in blood and their fast-food business was petrol bombed. CS gas was sprayed in Mr Ralphs's face and a knife held to his throat.
A former community leader and vice-chairman of the local Hazel Grove Labour party, he gave detectives an individual's mobile phone number in response to a police appeal for information.
He was assured by police his assistance would remain confidential and his identity would not be revealed. But his name openly featured in legal documents.
Mr Ralphs, who now uses another name, said his life had been devastated and called for the resignation of Greater Manchester's chief constable, Michael Todd.
The couple had to move hundreds of miles from their home, their foster son moved abroad because of the attacks and other family members were relocated.
Mr Ralphs added: "No amount of compensation can ever pay for the scar that the police blunder has left on our lives. If citizens cannot rely on the police to protect their anonymity when they are responding to a call for information, then the public will stop helping the police to fight crime.
"A public inquiry should now be established to look into how and why this happened."
He sued Greater Manchester police for negligence, breach of confidentiality and breach of human rights.
The force admitted liability about a month before the case was due to go to trial, but disputed the amount of damages. The award was made by Mr Justice Davis last week but announced yesterday.

Re: Christian Brueckner: To be or not to be
A plot to kidnap a child was being hatched in a Portuguese holiday resort a week before Madeleine McCann vanished there, Sky News has been told.
Martin Brunt
Crime correspondent @skymartinbrunt
Videos here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Expat Ken Ralphs said that Christian B, the German drifter suspected of abducting Madeleine, tried to recruit a mutual friend to help find a youngster to sell to a childless couple.
Mr Ralphs, a former UK political campaigner, said Christian B made the offer to the man who was penniless and living in a tent in a remote part of the Algarve coast.
Mr Ralphs, 59, said: "We were sitting around the fire one night after a meal, we had a few beers and during the early hours of the morning my friend began to cry.
"I asked him what the matter was and, eventually, he confessed to me he was getting involved with Christian to steal a child from Praia da Luz from a rich family."
Mr Ralphs, Christian and their mutual friend, a foreigner who cannot be named for legal reasons, were all part of a nomadic, bohemian community living - for different reasons - off-grid in isolated spots in southwest Portugal.
After a short drive off-road, Mr Ralphs took me along a track to a clearing in the woods about 20 miles from Praia da Luz, the beachside village from where Madeleine disappeared in May 2007.
"It's fenced off now, probably privately owned," explained Mr Ralphs, as we stood in the shadow of several towering eucalyptus trees.
"But 17 years ago my friend and his family were living in a teepee here and me and my wife used to bring them food.
"Christian knew the guy was vulnerable and wanted to travel abroad, but he couldn't leave because he couldn't afford the air tickets."
Mr Ralphs said he told his friend not to get involved in the plot and offered to help him financially when he returned from a trip he was about to make to the UK.
"I said you can't get involved in kidnapping a person for ransom, that's ridiculous, then he explained - 'no, it's not like that'. Christian had a customer, a buyer lined up, a German couple who couldn't have children."
'I showed police secret map'
A week later, Mr Ralphs was back in the UK when he heard the news that Madeleine, aged three, had vanished without a trace from her family's rented holiday apartment.
He told me that within three hours he had driven from his father's home to a police station in Workington, Cumbria, and reported what he knew.
"I said to the police, here's the secret map of how you get to this point in the woods here. I said that must be sent immediately to the Portuguese police."
On his return to the Algarve he went to his local police station and repeated his story, but said he was told Portuguese detectives knew nothing about it.
He found his friend had disappeared, his teepee tent burned, and there was no sign of Christian B. He never saw either of them again.
Mr Ralphs added: "The GNR [local police] asked me, 'have you made your statement to the British police'? I said, 'yeah' and they said, 'well, don't worry, go home. If they need to contact you, they will'. And of course, over the years nobody contacted me."
In 2020, when Christian B was publicly identified as the Madeleine suspect, Mr Ralphs recognised him from media photographs and again contacted the police.
Mr Ralphs was interviewed by Portuguese detectives, though he still doesn't know what part his evidence has played in the investigation.
He said: "They told me someone had made contact with my friend abroad and he had denied knowing me, but I have a dozen witnesses who will say that he's lying. I guess he just didn't want to be interviewed by police."
Mr Ralphs has had contact with Scotland Yard detectives and late last year sent a detailed statement to the German prosecutor now leading the Madeleine investigation.
The prosecutor, Hans Christian Wolters, told Sky News he had passed the statement to German investigators.
'He normally parked in the bushes where he was hidden'
Christian B, who cannot be fully identified under German privacy laws, is still the main suspect in Madeleine's disappearance but has not been charged. He denies any involvement.
He is currently serving a seven-year sentence in a German prison for the rape of an elderly American woman, a crime he committed in Praia da Luz in 2005.
Mr Ralphs said he knew Christian in the months before Madeleine vanished because they both used to park their camper vans on Barranco beach at the end of a long, rocky track.
Mr Ralphs and his wife had left the UK when police mistakenly exposed him after he had passed on information about a gangland murder.
He successfully sued Greater Manchester Police, pulled out of a witness protection plan and disappeared into an itinerant life in Portugal.
When German police appealed for information about the then unnamed suspect in 2020 they released a photograph of Christian B's yellow and white camper van parked on Barranco beach near its eastern cliffs.
"I think Christian took that picture to show his friends back in Germany, a tourist snap," Mr Ralphs told me as we wandered the beach on a blowy January morning.
"He normally parked away from the sea, in the bushes where he was hidden and could sell drugs which was what he was known for."
I showed Mr Ralph pictures of Christian B from those days and more recent police photographs and asked if he was sure it was the same man.
"Of course, it's definitely him," he said. "I remember him clearly, he was good-looking, spoke very good English and was polite, though not particularly friendly. A bit of a loner."
Mr Ralphs's evidence of a plan to steal a child is backed up by Michael Tatschl, a good friend of Christian B in those days.
Tatschl told author Jon Clarke in his book, My Search For Madeleine: "He (Christian B) was always bragging about money and making money, particularly from burglaries. He even talked about selling kids, maybe to Morocco."
And Scotland Yard detectives have always believed that, whatever her ultimate fate, Madeleine was abducted in a carefully planned operation.
Sky News has approached Christian B's lawyer and Scotland Yard for comment.

Re: Christian Brueckner: To be or not to be
A man’s claims that he gave Workington police information that could be related to Madeline McCann’s disappearance has been refuted by Cumbria Constabulary.
Ken Ralphs, a former UK political campaigner, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] – one week before Madeline disappeared.
He claimed that when he heard about Madeline McCann’s disappearance from her family’s holiday apartment in the Algarve in 2007, that he travelled three hours from his father’s house in the UK to a Workington police station to report what he knew.
He further claimed he made police aware of a ‘secret map’ leading to the location of where Mr Ralph’s mutual friend was living in remote woodlands in Southwest Portugal.
He also alleged that he told police the information had to be immediately sent to Portuguese police.
Mr Ralphs met the mutual friend while living in Portugal and claimed that on his return to the Algarve he informed local police of his story again and was allegedly told Portuguese detectives knew nothing about it.
A spokesman for Cumbria Constabulary said: “There is no record on any of the Constabulary systems relating to information relating to this case being provided to police in Workington.”

Re: Christian Brueckner: To be or not to be
This childless German couple would ideally have wanted a baby or as young a child as possible - so why take Madeleine, a few days short of her 4th birthday when her just two year old blonde sister was available for taking?

So was a younger child in the group, Racheal and Matt's Grace,
Re: Christian Brueckner: To be or not to be
Madeleine was the oldest of all the eight children in the group. From memory, the Payne daughters were 3 and 1, as were the Tanner / O'Brien ones. The Oldfield baby was about 10 months old - yes, a more obvious target for a couple who wanted a baby.

The Police invitation to attend an interview regarding Madeleine was for the 6 Nov 13 at 13:00.
Christian Brückner was born on the 07 Dec 76 in Würzburg.
‘Weeks later’ turns out to be ‘a Month later’?

and the police had told him there was nothing else they wanted.

Strange that no one wanted to know what Brückner might have saw or heard between 28 April and the 03 May 2007?
Or did they not want to know?

Re: Christian Brueckner: To be or not to be
Jon Clarke in full cry again.
The party story.
2 sources, both from Clarke. Olive Press and Mirror. Both with photos
Clarke claims copyright on both, which implies either that he took the photo himself, OR that he has a written contract with the photographer. - which somehow I doubt, given his track record with the stolen Kidman/ Law photo
TWO photos, Same event.(allegedly, obviously !)
Spot the difference.

Olive Press
QUOTE. "One photo shows him dressed in a striped tie and white shirt as he stands next to a spread of Iberian-inspired food – including Spanish tortilla."
Mirror
Err, the other one 'doesn't' ! ! !
Even the beer is different.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Is the top one him at all ?
Very neat tidy and clean room, computer, and two laptops, picture and dartboard on the wall, nice furniture, cold buffet laid out nicely on large oval serving plates,
The other shows the dumpy type of beer bottle, one almost empty plate, and a RED 'votive' candle (common on the continent - and with little significance)
But even if it is Brückner . . .
SO ***ING WHAT ?
He had a birthday party with some mates. As I imagine does Clarke, always assuming . . . .
He, along with thousands of other people, including the Tapas 7, had been TIE'd, Traced, Interviewed and ELIMINATED
Did any of them have birthday parties ?
I think we should be told, and see the photos
