The Portuguese press seemed to think that the Portuguese police would be called.

CB's trial began this week and has more than 40 witnesses to be heard.
According to Correio da Manhã, the Portuguese police will testify in court.

And could well be one of the forty witnesses. One of whom I think was not present being the friend of the father who was mentioned only in the father's statement to the court.
But that is only my opinion as is yours, because of the paucity of press releases or other information directly from the court.


There isn't a great deal being said about the German process in Portugal. But I did pick up on a bit of the attitude displayed by the judge towards the witness HB and her dismissal at a later date of the evidence given throughout.

Intensely curious, Judge Dr. UE questions Hazel B. about her intimate life before and after the crime.
HB, visibly distressed by the cross-examination, asks for a pause when the court asks how long her injuries lasted. "I'm still bleeding."

Durante o julgamento de Christian Brückner, suspeito no caso Madeleine McCann, Hazel B., uma testemunha, fez afirmações significativas implicando a polícia portuguesa.

If that isn't an example of mega victim blaming and insensitivity the Lord alone knows what is. At least HB was spared criticism of her attire which is another classic trope, because her clothing had been cut and ripped off her by the man she affirmed was CB.

It seems that media reporting on the various crimes CB is alleged to have committed is being confused with the actual evidence given in court, and those who provided it.

I suppose it could be a witness yet to be heard.

I really don't think so.

i’m just going to wait for the Judgement. there’s no particular reason why we have to get extensive coverage though obviously we’d all like that.

Good thinking, but we don't necessarily require to wait for the judgement. We may have something of relevance to discuss after the next trial date on 5th August.

Well yeah I suppose the defence did argue that the prosecution witnesses had been heard.

Yep, it'll be delivered irrespective of opions on here.

BKA have 8000 images from the box factory but CB has not been charged for this. A charge and conviction would keep him locked up for some time but have these images been obtained without the proper search warrant

It looks like that was why he was never charged.

There is every likelihood that the information referred to in CB's trial for five serious sexual offences was obtained legally and above board.

The main problem being that the witness was unable to testify about it for the simple reason of irrelevance to any one of the five cases being tried as the evidence concerned another case entirely for which no charges have as yet been brought.

It has now been revealed prosecutors received access to a secret email account containing images of abuse after an appeal to Microsoft in 2019.

The account was said to have been opened in January 2007
