Madeleine McCann: German Prisoner Identified as Suspect, #33

Sounds like CB is complaining yet again about his prison conditions and threatening a hunger strike now. As if if the lack of coffee sweetener wasn't enough, now they are only allowing him just 40 minutes of counselling with his social worker per month!! Bless.

Seriously though, he might not like it but it's quite normal for prisoners like CB to be kept isolated from other prisoners in situations like this - it's for his own protection. Perhaps if he opted to cooperate with the investigation and make an effort to clear his name, things could be different.

Mention of yet another lawyer too I've not heard of before - Philipp Marquort - where on earth is this money coming from to pay for this defence counsel!?



The suspected killer of missing Maddie is no longer taking food from the detention center, according to information from t-. He wants to protest against the prison conditions.

Christian B., the suspect in the Maddie McCann missing person case, no longer wants to record food from the Oldenburg prison . B. is currently serving a prison sentence for drug trafficking and rape in the JVA in Oldenburg. According to information from t-online, B. wants to protest against the prison conditions because he is in solitary confinement. One of Christian B.'s lawyers, lawyer Philipp Marquort, describes the accommodation in the prison as "inhumane". At first, the lawyer described B.'s action to t-online as a hunger strike, which he has since put into perspective. He only no longer accepts the food from the JVA and purchases food.

"Christian B. doesn't have any more social contacts"

According to the lawyer, Christian B. is only allowed to speak to the prison's social workers twice a month for 20 minutes each time. He is also allowed to make phone calls to his lawyers. "Christian B. doesn't have any other social contacts," complains Marquort. These conditions have been like this for a good 15 months.

In the missing persons case for the alleged murder of Maddie McCann, Christian B. is the main suspect. So far, however, there is no concrete evidence of an act. In October last year, the public prosecutor's office in Braunschweig accused Christian B. of five other crimes that he allegedly committed between December 2000 and June 2017 in Portugal . It's about alleged rape and sexual abuse. However, the start of the process fell through because the regional court in Braunschweig had declared itself "not responsible" locally. t-online reported that Christian B. could soon be released after serving two-thirds of his sentence.

Christian B. is on the security station

Specifically, B. criticizes the current accommodation that he is not allowed to have any social contact in addition to the JVA employees and his lawyers. He was housed in the security station and could only carry out any activity on his own. He has the opportunity to do a yard walk alone for an hour. All of B.'s applications to participate in prison events would be rejected.

According to his lawyer Marquort, he would like social contacts in order to be able to counteract his social isolation. As a rule, sex offenders voluntarily refrain from social contacts in detention centers or choose the persons very carefully because they have to reckon with being injured by fellow inmates. In addition, they avoid contact with prison officials so as not to be seen as traitors.

If necessary longer

Since the beginning of the week, B. has been refusing the food provided by the JVA. First he wants to go hungry for two weeks, but he doesn't rule out going without food. His lawyer Philipp Marquort is convinced that the JVA's approach contradicts the idea of rehabilitating criminals. The prison system should be adapted to the general living conditions as far as possible.

Lawyer in Kiel. Appears unconnected to Fulscher.
Thanks Misty. But I'm still left wondering why? He's already got Fulscher and Schwenn, two of the best defence lawyers in the country, them having represented major organised crime figures prior to this.

I just can't help but contemplate who is footing this bill?

He'll have them queuing up to represent him in a case this high profile.
 
Maybe he would, if they actually interviewed him?
They can't interview him formally as a suspect without having to show all their evidence, which any competent prosecutor isn't going to do until the time suits them.

My understanding though is they have attempted to question him informally and CB has already made comments confirming as such, even claiming they offered him protection if he cooperated or presumably could show someone else was responsible.

Sounds like CB basically told them to F off. FF has followed the same theme. We'll be drinking holy water in hell before CB cooperates... odd thing to say when you've nothing to hide IMO. Imagine how it would go down if the McCanns said something like that.

I think Kafka wrote a book about that scenario, Malleux. I'm not surprised he has a lot of lawyers.
 
His masterpiece, The Trial. HCW probably sleeps with a copy under his pillow.
Wow, that's some accusation.

I have to admit, from our previous interactions, I was expecting something more sensible and cogent from you.

Equally, any competent defence lawyer will tell him not to potentially incriminate himself by answering questions if he doesn’t have to. It could all move forward if the prosecutors have evidence and charge him.

Was a joke! Even the notoriously gloomy Kafka liked a bit of humour now and then

Well, of course. Any defence lawyer worth his salt would take that course in the absence of any other options to exonerate his client. But in my experience, a lot can be inferred from the way the defence words their objections.

Is that professional experience? Please explain.
 
In light of this, I'm wondering if CB mainly left his Westfalia parked up at the beach as a kind of base while using his other vehicles to travel about in... or perhaps he just habitually returned to that same spot.
MT did say that when he visited CB in the PDL (BSJ?) area that he was roughing it in the VW and that CB had the Jag "parked up", he didn't elaborate on where but I would think that he meant the immediate area.
 
<modsnip - quoted post and response removed>

In relation to FF’s holy water comment, the context was that CB would not voluntarily provide information. I think we can be certain that this was based on legal advice.

At BP’s scrapyard?

But nothing moves forward anyway until the question of jurisdiction is dealt with. There are still five cases to be sorted out.

Why would any prosecution worth its salt flag up the evidence they hold regarding the MM case to the defence prematurely or until they re ready to do so.

This is becoming a circular argument. My point is simply that CB should not be expected to defend himself until he is officially accused <modsnip>

HCW has stated: “It is now possible that we could charge. We have that evidence now.” This was in October 2021… 18-months later and still no charge… not even a timeline for one.
