Madeleine McCann: German prisoner identified as suspect #29

[Lilly b]

It's in every paper now worldwide, it's on the main TV news BBC, and Twitter is going crazy. BBC say Portugal are acting on what the German police are telling them to do

As things stand, I am not sure what this adds to anything

It could be Portugal are preparing to indict him. Which seems to run contrary to everything HCW has said.

Or it could be Portugal are preparing for Germany to indict him? I take HCWs comment more in this direction. A formal step to preserve the position.

So does this mean HCW is getting close?

Let's see if CB will be the only arguido, or others will follow. Then it shouldn't be just a tactical move to avoid a SoL....

Episode 3, minute 24 and further!

The BKA picture set from the van has been staged by the police after taking it from Berhard P..

My gosh, how much time did we spent to find out more about possible locations....

But it doesn't make sense at all, because of the night time pic including CB raising up 3 fingers. The BKA set includes a similar picture of the van at broad daylight.

So i assume JC got false info about it?!

Wasn't the VW covered in cartoons at this time?

I would say so, yes! So the picture set cannot be staged and must have been confiscated from CB in some way.

GERMAN police have to get permission in Italy before charging Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner, the Olive Press has learnt.

The bureaucratic procedure came as they asked the Portuguese police to make Breuckner, 44, an official suspect – a legal term known as an ‘arguido’ in Portugal.

BKA prosecutors in Braunschweig have also informed the German suspect’s lawyer of the process to prosecute him for the disappearance of the British three-year-old, while on holiday in Praia da Luz, on the Algarve in 2007.

They are expecting to formally charge him in the summer, alongside three other cases, the Olive Press can reveal.

This includes the violent rape of Irish 20-year-old Hazel Behan and two other charges of child molestation, one on a beach just a month before Maddie went missing on May 3, 2007.

But before they can issue any charges they need to re-issue official extradition papers from Italy, where he was last arrested in September 2018.

“It is a bureaucratic nightmare and a slow and laborious process,” a German BKA source told the Olive Press on Friday morning.

“But thankfully the paperwork process has begun and the details of the case have been sent to his lawyer.”

He added: “It is a complicated procedure as due to EU rules they have to go via Italy, which was the last place he was a free man.

“They know if they don’t do it the correct way his lawyer will create more problems and slow things up as he has before. He would definitely play the Italy card.

“They are in the hands of the Italian police now, but are not expecting there to be a problem.”

The main reason to make him an official suspect in Portugal is because from next month the statute of limitations of 15 years for murder cases there comes to an end.

The BKA source added: “It is merely a procedural issue at this stage and doesn’t have much meaning. We are not expecting him to be charged until August. And it will be in Germany.

“There is no way that despite making him a suspect in Portugal he will be handed over to the police there. He is a German suspect and in a German prison. He will be tried here.”

No mention of murder in that lot, just abduction.
Why do they want to bundle all the charges together? They're not really inter- related in any way, other than featuring CB

 

[Dlk79]

One possible reason that the Germans might want to put CB on trial for several crimes at once could be to do with the autobiographical books the BKA allegedly uncovered.

Madeleine McCann: German prisoner identified as suspect #28

If CB has written an account of his involvement in some of these other crimes, as well as his involvement in the MM murder, strong supplementary evidence in one case would naturally strengthen the other cases. Any claim from CB's defence that the writings about MM were just pure "fantasy" would be undermined if they had strong evidence such as videos or forensics/fingerprints linking him to one of the other crimes he has written about.

Could be useful as well, if the prosecutors aim for extended custody.

very interesting ......

So many things we talked about and figured out in here before, seem to become legit to be discussed by all authorities that are in charge IMO.

So let the games begin!!!!

PS: I like it, how JC jumps on the train of my assumption, that Panikspatz was referring to MM, by writing "mm", whilst discussing getting rid of evidence after a d***t****t lasting too long. I'm convinced, that Panikspatz told them everything about his communications with CB!!!

So much news coming at once.

- The apparent alibi (18 yr old fling) has been questioned twice by BKA and says she cannot remember if she was with CB on the 3rd.
- CB has now been formally questioned by Portuguese authorites in his prison and asked to account for his whereabouts on the 3rd. Refuses to answer any questions.
- Possible accomplices involved or directed the abduction.
- CB claims the BKA had already spoken to him in prison and offered him a deal. Life imprisonment in a special "cushy" jail if he fesses up to the MM crime.
- 20,000 pieces of evidence, likely pictures, videos and a diary of his crimes (as I just mentioned).
- Attention turned to possible forensic evidence in the VW van.

Quinze ans après la disparition de Maddie, la justice portugaise se rabat sur la piste allemande

Almost fifteen years after the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in the south of Portugal, the justice system of this country has followed in the footsteps of German investigators who in 2020 identified a repeat pedophile as the main suspect in the murder of the British girl.

The Portuguese public prosecutor announced Thursday evening the indictment at his request of a suspect in Germany, without specifying his identity or the nature of the suspicions which weigh on him, within the framework of an investigation relating to the disappearance of Maddie and carried out "in cooperation with the English and German authorities".

The reactions collected Friday by AFP from the Brunswick prosecutor's office and the lawyer of a German suspect identified as "Christian B." however, left no doubt that he also became the N.1 suspect of the Portuguese prosecution.

"It is obvious that in Portugal too we have suspicions about him", but "I would be surprised if they were overnight more advanced in their investigation than us here", declared Hans Christian Wolters, the porter. word of the Brunswick prosecutor's office, responsible for the German aspect of this resounding affair, in an interview with AFP.

"We must not overestimate this measure taken by the Portuguese authorities," reacted the representative of "Christian B.", Friedrich Sebastian Fülscher, lawyer in Kiel, in northern Germany.

In Portugal, even a murder is prescribed after 15 years. In the case of Maddie, if she died in May 2007, it will be the case in a few weeks. I assume that the prescription has been interrupted by this measure", he added.

"What happened is linked to the prescription. (...) Basically, it is a procedural trick on the part of the public prosecutor" to keep the file open, adds Gonçalo Amaral

The Brunswick prosecutor's office has also started proceedings against him in another rape case, that of an Irish woman, and for child molestation in Portugal.

"My colleagues are rather working on these other cases in order to be able to close this project in the near future. When it is finished, we will deal exclusively with Maddie", specified to AFP Hans Christian Wolters, the spokesperson of the parquet floor of Braunschweig.


Portugiesische Staatsanwaltschaft beschuldigt Deutschen offiziell im Fall "Maddie"

Braunschweig's first prosecutor Wolters spoke to AFP regarding the official accusation of B. by the Portuguese authorities of "much ado about too little". He considers it "unlikely" that the matter will now be seriously investigated in Portugal. "It's all about keeping this procedure alive in Portugal," Wolters added, referring to the statute of limitations.

The Braunschweig public prosecutor's office is currently not primarily investigating B. about his alleged involvement in the Maddie case. "Our priorities have other procedures" with B. as the accused, said Wolters, naming the rape of an Irish woman and cases of child abuse. "These cases are much clearer and some of them are not that long ago," said Wolters.

"Once that's off the table, we're going to deal exclusively with Maddie," the prosecutor added. However, this could "take quite a while" and an end to the investigations in the "Maddie" case is currently not foreseeable.

HCW's quotes make a lot of sense. I assume, that if they are able to prove the very sadistic rape of Hazel B., together with the Diana M. case, CB will be in prison for a looooong time.

So Hazel B. first and after that the likely more difficult case.
