Appeal to be released on parole was sent back from Kiel to Braunschweig due to incompetence of court in Kiel!
They smoke him out!
Nice game IMO!
Verdächtiger im Fall Maddie McCann: Kieler Gericht schickt Akten von Christian B. (43) wieder nach Braunschweig
For info, here's the Google Translate version of the RTL report:
Suspect in the Maddie McCann case
The Kiel court sends files from Christian B. (43) back to Braunschweig
Christian B. is suspected of the murder of Maddie McCann
There is a lot of back and forth: Once again, the Kiel Regional Court does not see itself as responsible for an early release from prison of Christian B., the suspect in the Maddie McCann case.
Imprisoned in Kiel for drug trafficking
The judicial authority announced on Monday that the criminal enforcement chamber was of the opinion that it was not responsible for the 43-year-old's new application. The man is currently serving a 21-month prison sentence in Kiel for drug trafficking, which the Niebüll District Court imposed a few years ago. The end of the sentence is January 7, 2021, two thirds of this sentence was served on June 7 of this year.
The matter will be given again to the Regional Court of Braunschweig because it is held to be responsible, it said from Kiel. According to a spokeswoman, the court in Braunschweig assumes that the files will arrive soon and will be examined again. The regional courts did not consider themselves competent for the first application. The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) decided that the Braunschweig Regional Court was responsible. However, the suspect's lawyer withdrew the application and submitted it again in Kiel.
Christian B.'s lawyers appealed
Through his lawyer, the 43-year-old had declared that he had lost confidence in the Brunswick judiciary after the regional court there wrongly convicted him of raping a 72-year-old woman.
If the application for exemption from detention is successful, the suspect does not necessarily have to be released - for example if a remand arrest warrant in the rape case should then be available. [my blue]
The man is said to have raped a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2005 - around a year and a half before the disappearance of the British girl Madeleine McCann. The 43-year-old has appealed against the Braunschweig judgment of December 2019, which has not yet been decided.
------------------
Don't think there's much new there, but it's reassuring that even if the Braunschweig court upholds his appeal for early release, he could still be immediately re-arrested - just as several posters here had speculated (the bit I've picked out in blue).
