This means the abduction theory has officially been accepted by the Portuguese after saying there was no evidence of a break in.

Can't wait for Gonc's statement.

Yes, double tap!

Charge in Portugal for abduction and in Germany for murder!

*irony off*

A man has been charged in Germany in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, a Portuguese prosecutor's office says.
9News understand charges were laid against the suspect at Portugal's request.
Portugal's 15-year limit on prosecutions meant there were just weeks left to charge the man, who has not been formally identified.

So I guess if the Portuguese were to question CB they would have to share their files with his Lawyer.

It has been said that the BKA has not shared all their evidence with the Portuguese, so CB will only be questioned on what the Portuguese has.

Could get very interesting.

But no quoted denial.

German solicitors aren't in charge in portugal. They doesn't even have to be informed.

Just a letter from Portugal sent into a german prison. That's all!

We'll see...

The German newspaper Bild reported that Brueckner’s lawyer, Friedrich Fuelscher, said the Portuguese decision appeared to be a “procedural trick”.

“ German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters confirmed to Sky News that it was "apparently only for formal reasons, to prevent a statute of limitations in Portugal". “

Does that sound like HCW has been blindsided by this move from Portugal?

From the same article:

'Christian B has been informed he is now an "arguido" - a formal suspect - but has not been charged.'​

So it looks as if the 'charged' part was just wishful thinking on the part of whatever media outlet first came up with it a few hours ago.
Still a significant development, though.

Madeleine McCann: Portuguese authorities declare formal suspect

A person has been declared an official suspect by Portuguese prosecutors investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

They did not name the person of interest but said they were acting on the request of German authorities.

On Thursday, a statement was issued by prosecutors in Faro, Algarve's main city, who said a person was made an "arguido" - which translates as "named suspect", "formal suspect" or "person of interest" - a day earlier.

It is the first time Portuguese prosecutors have identified an official suspect in the case since Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, were named suspects 15 years ago. They were later cleared.

On 3 May it will be 15 years since Madeleine was reported missing and under Portuguese law it would no longer be possible to declare someone a person of interest beyond this date. Declaring someone a person of interest is a necessary step to any criminal charges.

In its statement, though, Portugal's office of public prosecutions said that the move was not driven by timing, but by "strong indications" of the practice of a crime.

Looks like the copy and past media have misinterpreted the original story maybe? What do you guys think?

Major development in disappearance of Madeleine McCann, almost 15 years since she vanished

This article seems to say he was declared an official suspect because the statute of limitations was about to expire. Not really charged though.
I don’t understand legal procedures in other countries so I’m hoping at least it’s a step in the right direction.
