Does this not count as "Conspiracy to pervert the course of Justice" or its equivalent in German law ?

It also raises a serious question about whether H. Wolters has ever actually talked to Clarke.
What Clarke has reported would surely have been a serious breach of any professional code of conduct.
Do we believe that a Staatsanwalt would be so negligent ?

Wolters has also complained in a Podcast that he has been ‘Quoted’ and was surprised as to what he had allegedly said.

If the Press are saying he said things when he did not, WHY is he not Debunking it? Theonly time he did that was when Sandra said they had found Fibres in Brückners Van.

He never discounted the JC Alcossebre sighting.
He has not said a word about Ken Ralph’s claims.

He has never Sued any News outlets for bringing him into disrepute.

Conspiracy to Pervert the course of Justice?

The ‘usual Suspects’ are:

Jon Clarke
Martin Brunt
Ken Ralphs
Sandra Felgeuiras

Not to mention the ‘Far left’ lay Judge Britta T-D but how many more surprises are to come?

Has the entire Legal System been compromised?
Or just the Press?

EXCLUSIVE: CHAOS ON FIRST DAY OF CHRISTIAN BRUECKNER TRIAL: MADELEINE MCCANN SUSPECT, 47, SEES COURT CASE POSTPONED OVER A JUDGE’S BIZARRE TWEETS
By Jon Clarke (Publisher & Editor) -
16 Feb, 2024 @ 16:44

By Jon Clarke in Braunschweig
A TECHNICALITY over a rogue tweet of a lay judge has postponed the opening day of the trial of Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner.
The German paedophile, 47, is in the dock for a range of sex crime charges, including multiple rapes and attacks against children.
However the first day of his trial ended in chaos upon the discovery of ‘concerning’ tweets from the part-time support judge Britta Donckel.
One random post threatened to kill the former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonero for his ‘destruction of the rainforest’.

In the dock: Brueckner at first day of trial in Germany on Friday (CREDIT: OLIVE PRESS SPAIN)
The tweets brought the first day’s proceedings to a halt after just two hours.
It came after Brueckner, suspected of being behind the disappearance of British toddler McCann in Portugal in 2007, was led into the court in handcuffs.
Pictured for the first time since his mugshot arrest in Milan, in Italy in 2018, he looked frail and nervous.
Flanked by three bulky prison officers he was led into court in handcuffs, hidden by a blue file and sat in between his lawyer Dr Friedrich Fulscher and fellow brief Professor Dr Bock.
The Olive Press was in court to hear Kiel-based Fulscher make a nine-minute opening statement slamming the ‘aggressive’ and ‘irresponsible’ tweets of judge Donckel.
Speaking in German, the gathered English press pack, plus journalists from Spain, Portugal and Ireland, only managed to pick up the words ‘Twitter’, ‘X’, ‘Bolsonero’ and ‘James Palmer’.

It soon became apparent that the lay judge, one of a panel of five judges, had actually written ‘kill the b*****d now’ and ‘kill the devil’, referring to Bolsonaro.
She had also called for the death of American hunter James Palmer, who had infamously killed 13-year-old Cecil the Lion in Zimbabwe without a permit.
It, perhaps understandably, led Dr Fulscher to insist she was unfit to judge his client and could not be relied upon.
After a dramatic 30-minute recess, in which Brueckner was led out to a holding cell again in handcuffs, the court adjourned with Judge Dr. Christina Engemann agreeing.
Despite there being three other lay judges already sworn in it was decided that the delay meant the trial should be rescheduled to begin again next Friday.

END
NEXT Friday gives him a nice week trotting around Braunschweig. He could try to learn how to use an Umlaut.

INCIDENTALLY
Is photography permitted in German Court rooms ?
If NOT, then his claim to have Copyright over the two latter photos may be evidence that he committed an offence.

And don't we just LOVE Clarke's normal mangling of English grammar and usage

QUOTE. Speaking in German, the gathered English press pack, plus journalists from Spain, Portugal and Ireland, only managed to pick up the words ‘Twitter’, ‘X’, ‘Bolsonero’ and ‘James Palmer’.
END

NO. That means the gathered English press pack were Speaking in German.
The gathered English press pack were as ill educated as are you, Clarke and No spik jerman
H. Fülscher was speaking in German, because he is German in a German court of law in which the language to be used, by law, is German.
WHY THE HELL would any paper of note send reporters who did NOT Speak fluent German to report on this case. ?
They managed to pick up five words ( four words and one letter !). But no doubt wrote long articles and claimed payment, and expenses.

Watching Clarke's antics there is going to be fun.
I can feel another chapter coming on, with this as the first paragraph.

The Sun and Jutta Rabe have teamed up for a new Revelation.
Not Face- changing Surgery, but removing the Birthmark on his thigh alledgedly seen by Hazel B during her ordeal.

MADELEINE McCann prime suspect Christian Brueckner had surgery to remove a birthmark on his left thigh after an alleged rape, it is claimed.
Brueckner, 47, had it erased to avoid being identified after the knifepoint attack on student Hazel Behan who had told police where it was located, prosecutors allege.

Officers found scarring in the spot described by Irish Hazel, then a holiday rep, and, in a key breakthrough, spotted the birthmark on an earlier scan of Brueckner, who is serving seven years for rape.
A source said: “When Brueckner was examined during his current imprisonment they found a scar where the birthmark should have been.

“They then went back through the records and found a body-scan of Brueckner done by German investigators. Crucially, photos of his entire body were taken and at that time he had a significant birthmark on his left upper thigh at hip level.”

The evidence against the German paedophile has been presented to judges.

So Peter Bleksley is certain that the McCann's are innocent of Madeleine's disappearance. I do not understand how a seasoned policeman, who held a high rank, can dismiss that possibility. If they had been a hundred miles away, fair enough.

by **Silentscope** 18.02.24 16:26

Dear Jutta,

WRONG LEG!

She had said at the time her ordeal bore chilling similarities to the German's 2005 rape of a 72-year-old American woman in Praia da Luz.
But Christian B might be able to avoid the rape charge as Hazel told the police her perpetrator had a large, cross-shaped scar on his right thigh, according to Bild.
In the Irish police protocol of the incident, it is described as "a tattoo on his backside".
However Hazel said that this was a translation error and that she had seen either a scar or something else like a large birthmark or a mole.

SICKO'S CHANGE Maddie McCann suspect Christian Brueckner splashed out ‘thousands to change his looks’ as he tried not to be recognised
Brueckner has gone through a number of drastic surgical changes to his appearance
Georgie English
Published: 15:51, 18 Feb 2024Updated: 15:51, 18 Feb 2024

MADELEINE McCann suspect Christian Brueckner has splashed out "thousands to change his looks” and could be unrecognisable to the man he was in 2007, cops say.

German detectives monitoring the McCann case are thought to believe the convicted rapist has created “an illusion” with his current look and is now a wildly different man to when Madeleine vanished.

A source close to the investigation said that cops think this could be a key reason why the search has stalled for so many years.

On Saturday, the source said: “The Christian B of today is not the same person he was back in 2007 when Maddie disappeared.

“German detectives are convinced he looks very, very different and has blown tens of thousands of pounds changing the way he looks.

“For a long time, Christian B was a prolific drug-dealer who earned a lot of money and lived a very nice lifestyle. He had the means to have surgery and to make changes to the way he looked.

“Officers think there’s every chance the way he looks now is an illusion to the man he was 10, 15 years ago.

"They’ve always been concerned that this is a key area cops in the Algarve failed to properly grip or investigate fully from day one. So it’s an area they will be focusing on a lot more in the months ahead.”

The source added there’s even a chance they could re-issue photo e-fits and wanted posters to help find fresh information about the chilling case.

One of the ways Brueckner allegedly used to mask his identity was to have surgery to remove a birthmark on his left thigh after an alleged rape.

Prosecutors claim that Brueckner, 47, had it erased to avoid being identified after a knifepoint attack on student Hazel Behan was pinned on him.

The woman told police exactly where the recognisable mark was located during interviews although it was no longer on main suspect Brueckner's body.

Officers did however, find scarring in the spot described by Hazel on him.

A source said: “When Brueckner was examined during his current imprisonment they found a scar where the birthmark should have been.

“They then went back through the records and found a body-scan of Brueckner done by German investigators.

"Crucially, photos of his entire body were taken and at that time he had a significant birthmark on his left upper thigh at hip level.”

The evidence against the German paedophile has been presented to judges.

It has also been said that he spent £7,500 on having his jaw reset and four "rabbit" teeth straightened just four months after Maddie vanished in Praia da Luz in Portugal's Algarve.

A police sketch that came out in the following few days showed a man with buck teeth near the McCanns' holiday flat.

Brueckner appeared in court earlier this week facing a string of violent sex crimes in and around the resort where Maddie vanished.

One of these alleged victims includes Irish mother Hazel Behan, who says he raped her when she was 20 and working as a holiday rep in Portugal in 2004.

He is also charged with raping and abusing a teenage girl and a 70 to 80-year-old woman at his house in Praia da Luz between December 2000 and June 2006.

Prosecutors allege Brueckner also sexually molested children in Portugal twice.

A handcuffed Brueckner brazenly strode into the hearing with a blank expression on his face before the trial was adjourned after a judge's "kill the b*****d" rant was read out in court.

Leaving the trial to last just nine minutes.

Brueckner's latest trial is not related to the McCann case but cops are hoping that a string of witnesses giving evidence might lead them to discover a chilling overlap.

Further sickening allegations the court heard were that he masturbated in front of a girl at a playground in Messines in June 2017.

He also faces claims he did the same in front of another girl, on Salema beach, Portugal, in April 2007.

Brueckner, currently serving a seven-year sentence for rape, faces up to 15 years behind bars if convicted.

If found not guilty he would be free in two years when his current jail term ends.

He denies all the charges against him.

LINK TO MADELEINE
Brueckner was identified four years ago as the main suspect in the abduction of Madeleine from her family’s holiday flat in Portugal in 2007.

The three-year-old vanished from an apartment in Praia da Luz on the Algarve while holidaying with parents Kate and Gerry, 55, of Rothley, Leics.

German investigators believe Brueckner abducted and murdered her - although no charges have been filed against him.

They previously felt they had "hit a brick wall" with the investigation as no new leads had come forward for months.

The source told us: “Detectives hope the trial will offer new information and areas they can focus on.

"They are getting virtually no support from cops in Portugal who ruled out Christian B a while ago. As far as they’re concerned, linking him to Maddie is a nonsense.”

They are hoping the fallout from the new case could finally reveal crucial details about the toddler's disappearance in Portugal.

I can believe Brueckner had the tatoo removed but he's not much different in looks than he was in 2007, just older.
He does remind me of the spotty photofit though.

by **sharonl** 18.02.24 20:11

It's hilarious. A case of "we cannot say that anyone saw CB outside McCann apartment so we'll make out that he changed his appearance" and for the rape case "we'll just have to make out that he had the tattoo removed".

So now do we wait for the doctors who removed his tattoo/birthmark , which was it make your minds up !

And reset his jaw and removed his " buck teeth " to come forward with their " evidence " ?

Come on Jon Clarke you're missing an opportunity here laugh

It also raises a serious question about whether H. Wolters has ever actually talked to Clarke.

So then, either that photo of Wolters and Clarke-Kent is fake or Wolters is up to neck in it.

„Ich muss sagen, dass ich teilweise selbst überrascht bin, was ich gesagt haben soll.“ Seit einem Jahr ist Hans Christian Wolters einer der international wohl meistzitierten und interviewten Staatsanwälte Deutschlands. Ob russische, amerikanische, australische oder britische Medien, täglich erreichen ihn Anfragen zum aktuellen Ermittlungsstand im Fall der 2007 aus einem Hotelzimmer im portugiesischen Urlaubsort Praia da Luz verschwundenen dreijährigen Maddie McCann.

Translation:

"I have to say that I'm sometimes surprised myself at what I'm supposed to have said." For a year now, Hans Christian Wolters has been one of the most quoted and interviewed public prosecutors in Germany. Whether Russian, American, Australian or British media, he receives daily enquiries about the current state of the investigation into the case of three-year-old Maddie McCann, who disappeared from a hotel room in the Portuguese holiday resort of Praia da Luz in 2007.

I've been trying to find other photo's of them together. no luck yet.
The photo above is from his book, my search for Madeleine, so presumably his cameraman took it if it's real.

by **sharonl** 20.02.24 20:49

Why would Wolter allow Clark in, find time to speak to him and then have a photograph taken with him? If this really happened, what was Wolters up to? Surely this is highly irregular?
