Welcome back, has it been 5 years already?So this seems all very detailed with real detailed quotes, even as to which crimes will be charged - but I can't find any MSM confirmation of this story?
I can't for the life of me understand how Olive Press has all these juicy details from HCW and there isn't even a german media story on it?
So I am wondering is this really a new story or a rehash of what was being talked about weeks ago?

I think the article is mainly just confirming progress of the charges that were being talked about 2 months ago. The update is essentially that FF has had his 3 weeks to review the case files and has now (as expected) played the Italy card. FF/CB did have the option to waive the need for the authorities to update the EAW with Italy but that was never likely to happen. So now, we are just waiting on Italy to agree to the updated warrant before the Prosecutors officially announce the charges. I think most MSM will probably wait for that to happen before reporting on it.
Apart from confirmation that they are indeed pursuing charges for the 2 rapes seen on video, there is only really two other bits of "new" info in that article I would say. One is that Hazel B's lawyer denies that she claimed the culprit had a cross-shaped tattoo (which is what FF is trying to infer) although I did also see a report (in an Irish paper I think it was) recently that she claims this was a mistranslation by the Portuguese. The other is the following assertion by JC:
A prosecution against Brueckner, 45, in the case of abducted Madeleine, who vanished in Portugal, in May, 2007, will follow immediately after.
Hard to know whether this is really accurate or not. Maybe JC is ahead of the curve and does indeed have some inside knowledge about the Prosecutors plans. I do think that there may be a common link between the cases in terms of written autobiographic accounts and that if they achieve convictions in the other cases, that is what they want to then proceed with the MM charge as their case relies heavily on that evidence. JMO.
Or, the above claim could just be a play on what HCW stated 2 months ago when he said that they wanted to close out these other cases and they would then focus exclusively on MM. Mentioned here previously:
"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"

Madeleine McCann: German prisoner identified as suspect #29
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

Strangely, the article links in my post linked above are now dead (whooshed?) but I did copy the original (google translated) text into my post at the time so it is still visible.
