Madeleine McCann: German prisoner identified as suspect - #17

[ashmc79]

King or Tayto?! lol.
You were never unseen, Okapi. Someone always had their eye on you.
“A wee dote”. She was known to the locals, if she was known as a “dote”. It’s a very Derry/Donegal word, but usually only a word you would use if you knew the child or had been in contact with them at some stage.

Tats always

Both

I agree, it's an endearment.

In saying that my husband was bemused that people we didn't know in pubs in Ireland would come up to give us "money for the baby". (Just coins!)

Very child centred people in Ireland.

I remember coming home from town with my first born in 1999 and her pram would always have a few bob in it!! Practice is dying out a bit now but if I meet a baby anywhere always put 2euro in the pram and then have anxiety that they don't choke on it going home

Poor woman, it must be very hard for her. It is wrong for paparazzi to be following her and invading her privacy like that. The media profits off misfortune.

It's the disgusting Daily Mail. It's their raison d'être. Cruel and cynical exploitation poorly and sickeningly disguised as concern.

They can't even leave her alone to enjoy and take comfort in what I imagine is one of her few remaining pleasures, feeding her little strays. And then door-stepping her? Poor lady.

Yes you are correct the diesel nickname was in the algarve. The fuel thefts by CB+MT were IMO of diesel fuel variously reported as being from trucks or from a marina. If from a marina does it mean stealing diesel from trucks parked at a marina or from a storage tank at a marina? And which marina?

That's great you asked and I wanted that made clear. It was stolen from trucks. And we even have a picture of CB and MT caught with the famous blue van. I guess the guy on the right is CB and on the left MT. The impounded van was seized in 2006 and thus had no possible evidence inside connected to MM.

Google translation from Correio da Manhã dated April 9, 2006:

DIESEL GANG CAUGHT

PSP detained two foreigners who were stealing diesel fuel from trucks, in the outskirts of Portimão, at dawn yesterday. According to a police source, the duo would reveal great professionalism, even using a pump to extract fuel from the tanks. The diesel would then be transferred to a reservoir installed in a closed box van.

PSP OPERATION WAS TRIGGERED AFTER DENOUNCEMENT OF A POPULAR

It was around 1:00 am that a popular person made a call to the PSP police station to give the alert to the fact that there were two suspicious individuals next to heavy vehicles that were parked in a flattened land space, at the Cardosas site. It only took a few minutes for the picket of the PSP Criminal Investigation Squad, with the support of a patrol car, to arrive at the scene. According to our source, the two suspects were even caught in the act. According to what the Correio da Manhã found out, the individuals had already broken into at least one fuel tank before the authorities arrived. It is that in the reservoir inside the van that they used, Portuguese registered, about 300 liters of diesel were found. The fuel would be transferred from the tanks of the heavy vehicles to the reservoir (with a capacity of about one thousand liters) using an electric pump. This system would make the gas transfer operation very fast, making it difficult for the alleged thieves to be detected.

SEIZURE

The van and the rest of the equipment that the duo would use to steal diesel fuel ended up being seized by the authorities. The two foreigners - a German and an Austrian, aged between 20 and 30 - were immediately arrested by the PSP. The alleged thieves were present yesterday at the Court in Duty, and the judge determined that they would await the trial in a situation of preventive detention. The authorities are now investigating the possible involvement of these foreigners in other fuel thefts recorded recently in the Algarve region, as well as the fate that would be given to diesel.

TY for posting that. IMO CB is the man with arm extended, standing next to uniformed policeman?

 

[snowpea666]

This really does show the problems with relying on translated articles, doesn't it? Parts of it are dangerously muddled:

'Distraught and alone, Madeleine McCann’s adoptive mother suspects Christian Brueckner of being spotted for the first time since his son was linked to the boy’s disappearance' (?!)

She is alone all the same, she posts so much on FB only animals etc and no one likes anything, few times that all, sad really x

Numbering the five men starting from our left,
IMO #4 is CB, he is probably handcuffed to #3 (police) and is talking to #5 (police). All IMO and your alternative views welcome.
Does anyone know hairstyle of MT early 2006 please?

I too think that #4 is CB.
IMO MT is not in the pic.
And: why is this photo soooooo unclear and blurry? First time ever!

 

[Chiatos]

This item describes the reason why CB's two friends broke into his house: to steal 300 liters of stolen fuel he was keeping hidden.
Enquanto cumpria a pena em Portimão, dois cúmplices de Christian Brückner assaltaram-lhe a casa na Praia da Luz para levar 300 litros de gasóleo que tinha escondido.
Brückner admitiu “delitos sexuais” antes do desaparecimento de Maddie

According to this article, german expats in the Algarve wrote on Facebook about CB's hairstyle: Popperfrisur.

Suspect in Maddie: Germans in the Algarve remember

"As you can read in the regional Facebook groups, the German apparently managed to impress people. A member of the group said that he had noticed a Jaguar XJ at the time, which was often parked in Lagos at the marina and had a lot of paint damage from the sun. Another Facebook user from the Algarve recalled that after Maddie's disappearance, the police stopped many white vans, including his own, with which he had just been 100 kilometers from Praia da Luz. Officers cleared the truck, but then drove again without accomplishing anything. Someone else posted that the suspect had a "poppy hairstyle" at the time, he was wandering around in a jacket and reporting on his Jaguar."

Maddie McCann: Anwalt glaubt an Unschuld von Christian B. - derwesten.de

"Friedrich Fülscher from Kiel is certain that his client has nothing to do with the disappearance of little Maddie McCann. He also assumes that B. should not have been convicted of administering the American Diana M. (2005). “I think he shouldn't have been convicted of the rape,” said Fülscher. He claims: Both investigations are based on testimony from the same dubious witnesses. Two former buddies started the investigation against Christian B. However, both have multiple criminal records. One of these two witnesses would have “reported as a witness to the British authorities eleven years after Maddie disappeared. He was sentenced to seven years in prison for human trafficking in Crete. He was released after just two years. ”The lawyer believes it is possible that his own advantage was the driving force behind the statements made. The witness allegedly claims that Christian B. told him about the crime at a festival in Spain in 2008, so in the "Bild" on."

Hard to imagine, that THIS is the strategy, that FF prefers for his client:

My innocent client won't speak but has nothing to hide!
Assumed witnesses are as much crooked as my client is!
Just prove my clients guilt!

Three degrees of desperation?

He should rather tell his client to be coorporative. CB's reliability has already been finished, but IMO FF is working hard on the destruction of his credibility! German prosecuters are not just investigating due to testimonies from other criminals.

I'm curious about his statements, IF some kind of another bombshell would be released in the next months. Sounds kind of a bit naive, what FF is giving the media.

46 years old doesn't fit MS. Maybe the 2nd 'burglar/friend' at the farmhouse?

Possible, but IMO a "new" witness. Somebody that has told L.E., that CB told him the "bar confession" in 2008 at a festival.

Confessions to someone who raided his house, while he spent time in prison? I don't know...

 

[Sharkbite]

Possible of course, but if I were to guess which festival in Spain and who lives there. I would then guess that we already know who that witness is, or not?

[Sharkbite]

How do we know that Manfred S. = Seyferth?

I don't think we do. Although it does mention, that the person is German, lived in Greece but also had residency in France the same as MS I believe, but then again there is the age of 46 that definitely doesn't fit. 64 would be closer if it were MS.
