From the Italian press MSM:
“The investigation launched by the carabinieri led by Lieutenant Colonel Michele Miulli had been swift. German police suspected that Brückner was spending his hiding in Italy, but not much information was available to investigators. However, the German authorities have obtained the issue of a Mae, the European arrest warrant linked to the suspicion that it was in our country. The turning point came almost by accident. The report, around 7.30 in the morning, that Brückner had presented himself to the German consulate in via Solferino to report the loss of the passport. Perhaps the man hoped that the consular authorities were unaware of his past, or perhaps he did not imagine that the arrest warrant was also valid in Italy. The police of Catturandi, then led by captain Marco Prosperi, had waited for the man on leaving the consulate”
Il sospettato per la scomparsa di Maddie McCann fu arrestato a Milano, nel 2018
“He was drunk, there was talk of Maddie and he said 'they will never find her because children can kill themselves.' He didn't say he killed her, but now I have thought about this comment." The man used to drink and for some Serbian neighbors he was very violent. Several times he had threatened them with a knife. Apparently he had this dark side. These testimonials add to the 2017 conversation in which he told a friend that he knew what happened to the girl. Finally, the precedents for sexual abuse are beyond doubt.’
