Christian Brueckner: To be or not to be

Feldhaus must know that Amaral was not Fired for writing the Book, but wrote it after he was removed from the Investigation.

You can always rely on Bilge, Germany's answer to The Sun tabloid, to come up trumps (excuse the inference) when it comes down to a campaign of propaganda.



Wrong!  

Amaral did not lead the investigation for one year, he was removed after five months, even prior he didn't lead the investigation although he did try to conduct a thorough routine police investigation.  The investigation in reality was led by heavy handed British interference and influence.

Get your facts right before reporting - people get booted-out of responsible professions for far lesser crimes!

Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner 'writes begging letters to former friends asking them to talk about what a "good guy" he is in bid to clear his name'

Exclusive: Madeleine McCann suspect's desperate calls to pals begging them to back him in court

The paedophile wants pals to back his defence if he has to stand trial on rape and child sex charges, and has even complained that prosecutors are making him out to be a 'monster'

Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner has penned begging letters to friends asking them to back him in court.

The German paedophile wants pals to back his defence if he has to stand trial on rape and child sex charges. In one letter the convicted sex offender moaned that prosecutors were making him out to be a “monster”. At least two former friends in Portugal have received letters from Brueckner, 46, in recent months.

The Mirror was alerted to the letters by another ex-pal who is still in touch with Brueckner’s associates in the Algarve. They said: “I know of two people who got the messages from Chris. It really freaked them out. They hadn’t heard from him in years and then these letters suddenly arrived in the post from Germany.

“He was asking them to speak in his defence, about what a good guy he was. He said the German police and prosecutors have it in for him, that they are saying he is a monster. It’s outrageous for Chris to ask for help because now we all know about his past. Back when we were hanging with him in the early 2000s it was all a secret. We didn’t know he was a paedophile. But now he doesn’t stand a chance of anybody speaking up for him in court.”

Brueckner is being probed by a team of German detectives over Madeleine’s disappearance in Portugal in May 2007. He was already awaiting trial for a string of rapes and child sexual assaults allegedly committed in Portugal. But those charges were dramatically dropped earlier this year after a court ruling over who had jurisdiction in the case.

They were originally filed by prosecutors in Braunschweig because he previously lived in the city in 2016. But Brueckner’s lawyer Friedrich Fuelscher argued he was actually living in a warehouse in Neuwegersleben, Lower-Saxony. A court in Braunschweig ruled in his favour - although prosecutors are hopeful of overturning the decision.

Madeleine was three when she disappeared from her parents’ holiday apartment in the resort of Praia da Luz in May 2007. Kate and Gerry, from Rothley, Leics, were dined with friends in a nearby tapas restaurant at the time she vanished. The couple have refused to give up hope that their daughter will one day be found alive.

Brueckner, who lived in a ramshackle Praia da Luz farmhouse at the time of her disappearance, was named as a suspect in 2020. He denies any involvement in the crime. The German is serving a seven-year prison term for rape and drug trafficking and is due for release in 2026.

What a load of frickering nonsense.

Judge: You are charged with murder and multiple cases of sexual abuse against minors and the elderly

He who can't be named:

Witness: Oh come on yer Highness, cut him some slack, no matter what he's done underneath it all he's a jolly good bloke at heart.

Judge: Guilty !!!



YAWN !!!

Along side the latest artist impression, is this a precursor to the inevitable annual October EXCLUSIVE about Operation Grange being granted more money by the Home Office, to continue their 'probe'?

Fricker man dressed as “Tannerman” - coincidence?

But there is as yet no Court date is there?
So why ask for ‘Charachter Witnesses’?

It would be highly unlikely that the Judges would approve the appearance of any Witnesses in Court who had not observed the alleged incident under Investigation anyway.

The Accused persons Character, or Spiritual or Clinical Characteristics would normally be confirmed by a Specialist who would be appointed by the Court itself.

'IT'S OUTRAGEOUS' Madeleine McCann suspect Christian B launches bid to clear his name & begs pals to defend him in court

THE prime suspect in Madeleine McCann's disappearance has launched a bid to clear his name - as he begged pals to defend him in court.

Christian B, 46, has made desperate attempts for support if he is made to stand trial on rape and child sex charges.

The German convicted sex offender has started writing letters to his friends - urging them to defend him after moaning prosecutors were making him out to be a "monster".

At least two former friends of Christian B have been contacted in recent months, according to The Mirror.

The publication claim they were made aware of the letters by another ex-pal of Christian B - who is still in contact with his associates located in the Algarve, Portugal.

They allegedly claimed they received the mysterious letters from the criminal after years of having no contact with him.

The pal was left "freaked out" when the messages suddenly arrived from Germany.

It has been reported the letters were asking the old acquaintances to "speak in his defence, about what a good guy he was".

Christian B is also allegedly under the impression that German cops and prosecutors are targeting him and making him out to be something he's not.

The ex-pal said it was "outrageous" that Christian B would even consider requesting their defence in court as they are all fully aware of his "paedophile" background.

They also claimed the German national "doesn't stand a chance" when it comes to being backed in court.

Christian B is currently being probed by German detectives over Madeleine 2007 disappearance - but the rape and child sex cases which he may soon go on trial over are not connected to McCann.

The criminal was already awaiting trial for a number of rapes and child sexual assaults allegedly committed in Portugal.

The charges were originally filed by prosecutors in Braunschweig as he had previously lived in the German city back in 2016.

But Christian B's lawyer Friedrich Fuelscher claimed he was actually living in a warehouse in Neuwegersleben, Lower-Saxony, at the time which led to the charges being dropped - following a court ruling over who was had jurisdiction in the case.

Christian B remains the main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine, who vanished  in Praia da Luz, Portugal, at the age of three.

In July, his ex-pal turned police informer Helge ­B began assisting officers investigating the criminal.

An insider told The Sun Online: "Helge spent many years at the side of Christian B travelling with him and being his partner in crime.

"This means he has a huge amount of knowledge about where Christian was, what he was doing and what his motivations were for him being in particular places at specific times.

"There are a number of leads and clues officers have on Christian that they think Helge could provide more information on.

"They genuinely do believe he can be a game-changer in their investigation into Christian B."

Christian B has denied any involvement in the disappearance of Madeleine and is currently serving g a seven-year prison term for rape and drug trafficking and is due for release in 2026.

Case against Madeleine McCann suspect 'crumbling as witness threatens to pull plug'

ByAntony ThrowerNews Reporter
22:44, 14 Sep 2023UPDATED23:02, 14 Sep 2023

A key witness in the case against Maddie McCann suspect Christian Brueckner is said to be in danger of withdrawing his testimony in court, putting the case at threat of falling apart


The parents of Maddie McCann could be about to suffer fresh heartache tonight as the case against the case’s prime suspect appears to be close to collapse.
German prosecutors said in 2020 they believe Madeleine is dead and their suspect, convicted child sex fiend Christian Brueckner, was likely responsible. Earlier this year there were renewed efforts to link him to the death of the British girl last seen alive at age three in 2007. However, sources this evening have suggested key witness Helge Busching is threatening to not help the prosecution and the case could fall apart as a result.
A German source told The Sun : “Word is Busching is about to withdraw his evidence. He was paid a huge sum to repeat his statement in a German newspaper and now he’s pulling the plug. It just goes to show you what type of people you are dealing with - and their credibility as witnesses.”
Busching previously said he saw Brueckner at a music festival in Spain in 2008 where they discussed the Madeleine McCann case and the suspect allegedly told him "she didn't scream". He told German outlet Bild : “He asked me: ‘Don't you go to Portugal anymore and do business there?’

Earlier this summer investigators spent three days searching the surrounding area of the Arade dam and reservoir, about 30 miles from Praia da Luz and uncovered a "number of items" which could be linked to the case. Police were spotted removing what appeared to be large brown evidence bags from the search site.
In July it was reported Brueckner, who is currently in a German prison serving a sentence for rape, owned a kit for breaking into people's homes, according to cops working on the case. He is thought to have owned a "lock picking kit" which could twist the cogs and open any security door.

He is said to have boasted about owning the tools to a pal, which could derail the long-held theory that little Madeleine's abductor clambered through a window before snatching her from her room in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
German police and prosecutors were excited and "electrified" by the discovery, they said. Brueckner has consistently denied any involvement in the abduction.

Drat !
I was just about to go into print with a new Chapter and now this comes up to make half of it redundant.
Back to the keyboard.

I suppose Busching might have realised he would be cross examined during any contested trial and would not be able to hid behind a 'Caution' or a rule against self incrimination . . .

Plus, perhaps he's not being bribed a sufficient amount?

when you start paying monkey's to eat pinda's, isn't this what is most likely to be the outcome, that you end up with no peanuts at all. and then realizing it was not even a real monkey.

this payed witness of the media probably have never had so much money in the pocket, the offer was probably better than the prosecution could deliver. do we imagine think these kind of guys will think about a future, they never did, so why would he start now. 

and really if this was the quality of the testimony, he indeed have to fear cross examination. 
in march 2008 the complete world already known very well there was no screaming girl on may third 2007 in praia da luz. that same media had been very busy to tell us that, including family, friends and who not's they could find to get some comments out. 

the meaning of the one single sentence as presented by the german star witness was mostly the result of the witness its own back filling, that was set away for the rainy day that arrived. 

a witness that in public already started with the lie he called the scotland yard helpline for missing madeleine mccann, such a thing did not existed in 2007 and 2008. the uk police is not able to name such an helpline affiliated with scotland yard at that time at all. it is not named as available in their own report operation task. 
no media or other source is there to suggest otherwise. 

so from that, this witness never had been able to call scotland yard by a specific help line for madeleine mccann.

so if i had declared this on camera in this way and manner, i would fear very wisely, the defense team would set me out to be a liar and even a bad one. 

a certain helge b. only used madeleine mccann as a nice cash cow, just like many others have, the other guys around and near the supposed conversation, have already stated on camera in their own words, they never heard cb told anything like that, or anything at all that could pass the thresholds of a confession. 

but even if that single sentence was said, it was an sentence that was used by hundreds, maybe thousands at that moment in time. it is even now still a point in many discussions. i have never seen any other comment to such a remark that suggested the people written or spoken it, had because of such comment be seen as a probable suspect. 

it is probably even one of the most common served questions after any strange case or crime happens, did nobody hear something, did nobody see something, did he or she made no noise. 

but it is a shame helge b. is not heard in court, only because i would be very curious to the story of the prosecution how such a single sentence must be seen as an confession to any crime. 

but the summer holidays are definitely over, it is back with the usual crap. in the uk only as far as i can see.
germany looks to be sleeping.

MADDIE CASE BLOW Madeleine McCann case against paedo Christian B falling apart as key witness threatens to stop helping police

Nick Parker
Published: 22:01, 14 Sep 2023Updated: 4:17, 15 Sep 2023



THE police case against the prime suspect in Madeleine McCann’s disappearance appeared close to collapse last night.

An ex-pal of Christian B, 45, made a damning statement against the convicted child sex fiend.

But sources close to the German probe say their key witness is “wobbling” and threatening to stop helping.

Cops hope to nab Christian B over Madeleine, who vanished in 2007 aged three.

A damning statement by Helge B — an old pal of Christian B — has become a cornerstone of the German-led police case.

But sources close to the investigation warn he could soon back out and refuse to support his claims in court.

A German source told The Sun: “Word is that Helge B is about to withdraw his evidence.

“He was paid a huge sum to repeat his statement in a German newspaper and now he’s pulling the plug.

“It just goes to show you what type of people you are dealing with — and their credibility as witnesses.”

Helge B’s move could be the final blow in the stalling bid to bring Christian B to court for the suspected abduction and murder of three-year-old Madeleine in Portugal in 2007.

It will be another setback for her parents Gerry and Kate, both 55, of Rothley, Leics.

German Helge B, 48, was a criminal pal of drifter Christian B when they lived on the Algarve around the time of Madeleine’s disappearance from her holiday apartment in Praia da Luz.

He told cops he was chilled by Christian B’s alleged dark confession when the pair met at a music festival in Spain a short time after the tot vanished.

As the pair discussed the case over beers, Christian B was said to have coolly confided: “She didn’t scream.”

The convicted rapist and child sex attacker clearly implied he had taken Madeleine, Helge B told cops.

McCann probe prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said he was unaware of Helge B's suspected change of heart — but insisted his statement would still carry weight.

He said: “Anyone who has said something must be measured by it. Witnesses are subject to the duty of truth — they have to testify. You can’t just choose something like that.”

Helge B's threats to back out came as it was revealed Christian B has written begging letters to pals asking them to back him if he goes on trial.

He faces new charges of rape and child sex offences unconnected to the McCann case.

In one letter, the sex offender moaned that prosecutors were making him out to be “a monster”.

An ex pal said: “I know of two people on the Algarve who got the messages. It really freaked them out.”

Christian B is currently in jail in Germany for the 2005 rape of a 72-year-old American woman in Praia da Luz.

Detectives claim to have “concrete evidence” that Madeleine is dead but have yet to produce further material which could lead to a charge.

Christian B’s lawyer, Friedrich Fulscher declined to comment last night.

'This case could implode' | Madeline McCann case hangs in the balance after development



GB News - 2 hours ago

The case against a German suspect could 'implode' as new developments with a witness cause the case to hang in the balance.

They haven't looked anywhere except newspapers and tv reports, have they? They haven't the slightest clue. There is no case to implode.

It's come to something when we are half rooting for such a person , hasn't it?

There's only two people the police need to be looking at....leave all the patsy's out of it.

Madeleine McCann case against Christian Brueckner ‘is still on’

Prosecutor responds to claims that a key witness in the investigation over the missing girl had threatened to withdraw his evidence

David Crossland
Friday September 15 2023, 2.30pm BST, The Times

The German prosecutor investigating the convicted rapist Christian Brueckner for the alleged abduction and murder of Madeleine McCann has strongly denied claims the case is close to collapse.

Hans Christian Wolters of the Braunschweig state prosecutor’s office was responding to claims in The Sun that the prosecution of Brueckner could fall apart because a key witness, Helge Busching, was “wobbling” and threatening to withdraw his evidence.

The paper added that Busching’s move could be the final blow to the legal action.

Earlier this year Busching claimed that Brueckner had confessed to abducting the British girl from her parents’ holiday flat in Praia da Luz in the Algarve region in May 2007, when she was three. Busching claimed that when they were discussing Madeleine’s disappearance, Brueckner told him that “she didn’t scream”.

Wolters said that even if Busching was having second thoughts, under the German legal system he would not be able to retract his statement and it would remain admissible as evidence even if not repeated in a court of law.

The prosecutor also claimed that Busching’s testimony was not a cornerstone of the McCann case and played only a “very, very small role”.

Wolter told The Times: “He can’t choose whether he appears as a witness and he can’t retract his statements and act as if nothing had happened. That doesn’t work in the legal system in Germany, and he is certainly not the decisive support in the proceedings when it comes to Maddie.”

He added: “I don’t know if the witness is withdrawing his testimony. The fact is that in Germany it’s different from other legal systems.

“In Germany a witness has to appear in court, he has no choice. And if he has already testified, the statements that he has made can of course also be introduced in the trial.

“So if he were to say, ‘I’m not talking to you’ — even if that were the case, and I don’t know if it is — that would not lead to our case collapsing here.”

Wolters added: “At the moment it is not yet clear whether there will be a trial or not because we do not yet know whether what we have is sufficient for an indictment. But among all that we have, Helge B’s statements are certainly not the most decisive.”

• Who is Christian Brueckner, the prime suspect in the McCann case?

A German source “close to the investigation” had told The Sun: “Word is that Helge Busching is about to withdraw his evidence. He was paid a huge sum to repeat his statement in a German newspaper and now he’s pulling the plug. It just goes to show you what type of people you are dealing with — and their credibility as witnesses.”

Brueckner is serving a seven-year sentence for the 2005 rape of a 72-year-old American woman in the Algarve. He was in part convicted on evidence from Busching.

Wolters said that even if the McCann case never came to trial, other proceedings against Brueckner could keep him in prison for the rest of his life.

Last October he was charged with raping a 14-year-old German girl, a 20-year-old Irish woman and another woman in her seventies between 2000 and 2007. He was also accused of other sexual offences against a ten-year-old girl in 2007 and an 11-year-old girl in 2017. Brueckner has denied all five charges.

Wolters said: “There are serious offences, so if he is convicted of them, he will certainly have to expect a very substantial sentence, which could, of course, in the worst case lead to him possibly not getting out of prison at all.”

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/madeleine-mccann-latest-case-christian-brueckner-mkmjrvwft

There is no evidence to suggest Christian Brueckner abducted or murdered or had anything whatsoever to do with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Why is this nonsense being peddled again?

Look at the PJ files and henceforth .

"Brueckner is serving a seven-year sentence for the 2005 rape of a 72-year-old American woman in the Algarve. He was in part convicted on evidence from Busching."

And in part on the court's refusal to accept the evidence of a consultant gynaecologist who reported that there was NO EVIDENCE of penetration.
That is in the files, and DCI Amaral has the copy of the original.
