This was on Sky this morning .. seems M.Brunt made enquiries with HCW yesterday ( 16th Jan ) and got an email reply or suchlike shortly after .

imo .. it’s worth remembering HCW’s focus just now is on progressing the appeal against the recent acquittal . They’re not likely to be charging re. MM while that is going on .

The judge at the recent trial stated that the prosecution’s earlier statements and focus on MM was a major reason CB was acquitted , in those other cases ( subject of this thread ) .

Therefore .. imo .. HCW will be doing everything possible to ensure the appeal works .. and downplaying the MM angle for now would certainly tie in with that , not wanting the same criticisms to be directed his way re. said appeal .

Yes, I agree with you
So what he said was they are working on the appeal at this time, which makes more sense as CB due out in September, the rest of what was said was more opinions from the other 2

How can an appeal be worked on when a judgement has not been issued, it's the end of the beginning for anything do to with the MM investigation imo.

 

[Hygge]

I don’t give too much on all these articles esp when HCW didn’t give an official statement.
One time he has enough then he hasn’t. It’s going on since years like this.
He has never said we charge him beginning of 2025. and I think he won’t be released without trying to get at least an arrest warrant.

The appeal was filed timeously against the judgement of the Braunschweig court.

Strangely reflecting the defence application for overturning the rape conviction against CB in 2019.
The appeal court dismissed that appeal.

The decision regarding the prosecution appeal has not been returned as yet therefore is still under consideration by the appeal court judges.

He's quoted inside quote tags.

Not sure, but I think reinstatement of the arrest warrant is part of the current appeal submitted by the prosecutors.

The reference is to the summing up during the trial not to the wording of the appeal SNIP
After the acquittal in the trial for several serious sexual offences against Christian B., who is also a suspect in the MM case, the public prosecutor's office has appealed.
This was announced by the judicial authority on Wednesday. The case now goes to the Federal Court of Justice, which reviews the verdict for legal errors.
Last week, the Braunschweig Regional Court acquitted the sex offender, who has several previous convictions, of three rapes and two cases of child sexual abuse. There is not enough evidence for a conviction, said the presiding judge UE.
The public prosecutor's office had demanded 15 years in prison with subsequent preventive detention for the 47-year-old, the defense acquittal.

The intention of the premature release of pointers detailing CB's identity is in part having the intended effect of throwing a spanner into the work of the investigators working on his crimes. My opinion.
Note the difference in the conduct of the rape trial of 2019 prior to CB's notoriety becoming known and that of the rape trial post identification in 2024 which took four years to get off the ground.
Then concentrated during trial and judged as though it was the MM trial despite five indictments - not one of which remotely made reference to MM.
It began with efference to MM and ended with the judge's comments on MM.
...
Regarding the Sky broadcast. It seems to be a very much 'stand alone' item which has not been picked up by any other outlet.

Indeed so.
But when exactly did he make the statement. As Hygge has noted, there is no context.

HCW apparently emailed them so I assume Sky can back up what they said. It all looks over tbh

For me I agree with this "
Jim Gamble, former head of the UK Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre, said he had expected the prosecutor to charge Christian B soon.

"He's implied the whole way through that he has something more than the public are aware of," he said.

"He's made fairly definitive statements about whether Madeleine is alive or dead so you would expect their strategy to have been to charge him sooner rather than later.


"From what he's said today I wonder if we're witnessing the re-positioning of something to manage the disappointment that'll come.""

then Gamble has obviously not listened to Wolters, that Wolters never said they will charge soon.

He always said first they wait for the results of the appeal and then either a new arrest warrant or if it fails , trying to get an arrest warrant in the McCann case

„We are appealing to the Federal Court of Justice. The latter will then examine the judgment for legal errors. We hope that a BGH decision will be made before the release from detention in September 2025. Then we would have the opportunity to consider the application for a new arrest warrant.”

And: "In addition, if necessary, we will also check if we can apply for an arrest warrant in Maddie's case. We have evidence that Christian Brückner killed Maddie McCann.”

Tbh I see this as differently to you. It seems pretty permanent to me

When it comes to CB I think we all add our own context which will be opposites for obvious reasons.

2 things that are true

1 - They haven’t charged
2 - They haven’t dropped the case

 

[frank-cole]

Indeed so.

As it’s come through Sky imo the email will be current. Although I don’t think this comment is the ‘game over’ that people may be hoping it to be.

It's not a hoped for game over, it's a realism that MM will never get justice imo.

 

[frank-cole]

With respect - imo it’s not that at all. It’s the idea that CB will be removed from the equation so old business can resume.

Unimportant, it shows they never had the intention to charge him beginning of 2025.
That’s what Gamble obviously thought

tbh I am not sure he DID think that. I think Gamble though they had hard evidence based on what HCW has been saying for years and it was fair of him to think that also.

This podcast from a few weeks ago features J.Gamble ..

Charging timelines from around 35.20 mins ..
This was made before the recent Sky News release ..
MM related but I’ve posted on this thread due to above J.Gamble discussion.

From your article :“Jim Gamble, former head of the UK Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre, said he had expected the prosecutor to charge Christian B soon.“

I’ve always picked up on this unusual air of resentment against Jim. I’m guessing it’ll be because Jim speaks up for the McCann’s & speaks negatively about CB & highlights CB’s criminality.

CB is German as are the parties involved. Trying to use somebody’s nationality in order to devalue their opinion isn’t good. But that type of noise is just so typical on McCann related threads.
