Todays statement.(best I could manage)
IMO it certainly seems like they’ll be making a move in the MM case before these 5 cases reach trial.
I will now, with regard to the indictment that circulated yesterday, give you more detailed information in the form of a Please understand that there is no possibility that we will ask or answer questions in any way, we have made an effort to complete yesterday's press release with all the information that we want to publish at the moment in it. Facts and therefore my statement will also be limited to what has in principle already been said since yesterday.
It is known the public prosecutor's office in Braunschweig yesterday before the regional court in Braunschweig brought charges against a 45-year-old German for several sexual offenses that he committed between December 28, 2000 and June 11, 2017 in Portugal. the person accused is the person against whom also in connection with the disappearance of the then three-year-old British girl Madeleine Beth McCann on May 3, 2007 from an apartment complex in Praia da Luz on suspicion of murder.
Specifically, the accused is charged with three acts of serious rape and two acts of sexual abuse of In detail, these are the following acts at a point in time that can no longer be determined between December 28, 2000 and April 8, 2016. ( referring to the Italian women) a women 70 to 80 years old woman surprised in her apartment in Portugal in the bedroom there. he is said to have tied up and raped the woman while he himself was masked. He then hit the victim several times with a whip and is said to have recorded the whole act with a video camera. On another unspecified day in the period December 28, 2000 to April 8, 2016, the accused raped an unknown one German speaking girl aged at least 14 naked in his then house in Praia da Luz tied to a wooden pole in the living room. Fluently he hit the victim with a whip and finally forced him to have oral sex. also this deed should have been filmed by the accused. Finally, the accused on 06/16/2004. in Praia da Rocha via a balcony access to the apartment of a then 20-year-old woman from Ireland, the masked accused is said to have woken up the sleeping woman and in front of it with a knife and brutally raped, he then later hit the woman ,bound, gagged and brutally raped again. He then whipped the victim on the back with a whip he had brought with him and forced him to have oral sex again.
This act is also said to have been largely recorded with a video camera that the accused had brought with him. Later in his (I think leotard! ) then fled over the balcony and the victim managed to free himself and crying for help. Finally on April 7th, 2007 around 3:30 p.m. the accused is said to be at a starting section of Salema in the district of Faro in Portugal. a German who was about ten years old there at a rock hole.
He then grabbed the child's wrist and at the same time began to perform masturbation movements on his naked The accused was naked throughout the incident, wearing only shoes. Yes, then the girl prompted to continue looking at his naked penis and the masturbation movements in order to be sexually aroused by it, after he himself ejaculated, he is said to have let go of the child and fled.
After all, the accused is said to be on June 11, 2017 in the early hours of the morning around 2 a.m. during the so-called snail festival in Bartolomeo. a Bartholomew in Portugal made eye contact with an 11-year-old Portuguese girl who was sitting on a swing in a playground, heir then pulled down his trousers and underpants while making eye contact and performed masturbation movements on his bare penis in order to make eye contact with the girl irritate. The girl is then supposed to have run to her father for help and frightened. The accused himself was arrested on the spot by the Portuguese police. on the basis of the indictment, an arrest warrant has also been applied for against the accused because the public prosecutor sees strong suspicion of a crime, we see the suspect fleeing and also the risk of a repeat offence given the investigations themselves are very complex and intensive investigations lasting several years in several European countries, particularly in Portugal in Ireland and Germany, which were carried out under the leadership of the PKA.
The accused himself is a multiple-convicted sex offender who, among other things, has also been convicted of the sexual abuse of children. He is currently serving a seven-year sentence for rape, also committed in Portugal in 2005. the jurisdiction of the public prosecutor's office in Braunschweig results from the fact that the accused had his last place of residence here in Braunschweig before his stay abroad.
and the indictment has been taken to the juvenile chamber of the district court because of the victims of some of the accused victims being children and young people and therefore so-called youth protection The investigations into Madeleine McCann’s disappearance are continuing regardless of the indictment due to the ongoing investigations I also ask for your understanding that we are currently not providing any more detailed information on the investigation results to date, we want to investigate the Madeleine McCann case until we have no investigative approaches see more in the cases that have now been indicted, this was the case, so we quickly filed indictments and everyone can be assured that the Braunschweig public prosecutor's office is not trying to unnecessarily prolong the investigations in (McCann case), but we are only pursuing our investigative order and trying to clarify the facts as best we can. In this context, we ask for the help of the population.
To that extent there is a call for witnesses at the Federal Criminal Police Office via the website of the Federal Criminal Police Office and the WWW
