It isnt about this guy is it? Maddie detectives 'hired prisoner to get confession from prime suspect'

That's it, the article I was looking for.

That's it, the article I was looking for.

One must be cautious with tabloid reports.

Totally agree, just strange this witness isn't even in court.

If I want to link to a German paper do I just put the link or do I have to translate it?

So this Laurentiu C was NOT a witness today? Just the prosecutor saying what he said? TIA!

If it's not paywalled, then just a link with a small synopsis of content is fine imo. We can google-translate for ourselves.

The prosecution requested to call him in

Delayed questioning in Portugal, failed interrogation in France: The video calls in the trial against Christian B. show the complexity of the proceedings. Nothing new came out of it.

Laurentiu is a Romanian name. I wonder how good his German language skills are?

From another criminal. This time almost certainly incentivised with a deal for providing information. I don’t like to be cynical but it’s hard not to be.

This witness could also be important for the prosecution in the MM case. However, he hasn’t been able to lead them to any material evidence.

Yes, it's hard not to be. The criminal shenanigan aspect aside, in order for this witness to have credibility, his account of conversations with CB would need to have been officially reported before the details of the charges were in the public domain. The fact he's being bussed in at this late stage suggests not imo, since testimony of the kind he's alleged to have been party to would surely have made him an important witness...

We'll see. Or not.

Do you mean in his alleged conversations with CB while in prison?

Yes, precisely that; or they may have conversed in English.

B Z article says it's an application for the witness to appear.
