There are more missing children than MM and CB has featured in the investigations into some of them
Snip
A lawyer representing her family said CB stayed at the house in May 2015 and one day before Inga disappeared, police records place him in a nearby motorway service station where he had a parking accident.

He is believed to have commuted by car between the property in Neuwegersleben and Braunschweig, around 35 miles away.
...
He had been convicted for child sex abuse for the first time in 1994, and in 2016 he was convicted for child sex abuse and possessing indecent images.

Madeleine McCann suspect investigated over 2015 disappearance of German girl

Inga Gehricke, five, went missing while collecting wood for a campfire in the district where Christian Brueckner was living

No mystery why a recidivist abuser remains of interest to police investigators.

I think the Inge case & CB’s involvement gives a perspective on reality.

There can only be reason they aren't running an investigation into CB for Inge’s disappearance but are running an investigation into Madeleine’s investigation - evidence.

Another difference is different court jurisdiction, therefore different prosecutors.
Perhaps they recognise a dead horse when they see one.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

If anyone knows, did the main judge in this current trial preside over any other "high profile" cases that were reported in the media?

 

[Davieson]

There's really nothing high profile about this case, just run of the mill sex crimes.

A rape trial in Braunschweig does not normally attract camera teams from Great Britain, France and Portugal, but CB, an internationally notorious offender, is on trial.
...
While the 2019 rape trial against B. went almost unnoticed by the public, journalists were queuing up in front of the courthouse before seven o'clock on Friday. They had to undergo strict security checks, which is why the trial started delayed.
...
29 days of trial are scheduled for the circumstantial trial.

The verdict would therefore be pronounced at the end of June.

When asked about his further strategy, defense attorney FF referred to the next meetings. "It doesn't get any more boring than that."

The interest and media response to the trial against CB. had been huge last week – media representatives and spectators had crowded in front of the entrance to the district court, the start had been postponed by 40 minutes. On this Friday morning, the rush was somewhat smaller. Nevertheless, a queue formed in the foyer. It started on time: Almost all seats were occupied, including the spectator benches.

Respectfully- Not relevant to the point. There’s no investigation into CB for Inge’s disappearance yet there’s a funded investigation into CB for Madeleine’s. They don’t run investigations unless they have reason to justify one. - the difference will be evidence.

I don’t think this is a case of a lone antagonist prosecutor on a crusade to spoil a party & bag some airtime before starting a career as a talk show host.

There will be a reason 3 LEA’s all have CB as the sole prime suspect.
